     This morning I decided to run some hills so I ran out to the highway hill which is exactly 1 mile. Then I ran the 1 mile to the bottom then back up 3 times. I tried to keep the pace fairly easy with the first 2 downhills  in about 7:15 each and the 3rd in 6:44. The 3 uphill miles averaged about 8:56 and were a bit more effort than the down miles. My hamstring didn't give me any trouble. Hopefully I can get back to normal training this week after missing 7 planned running days over the last 2 weeks with 3 different injuries coming on. Luckily each one got nipped in the bud and seem to be feeling better now. 8:04/mile for 8 miles.

Hey, good lock on your training over the next little while. I hope your injuries all heal. I'm now struggling with a pulles soleus (calf) muscle--don't know if I'll be able to do the St. George.

Hill repeats are great ... good job! Hope things stay healthy so you can get ready for St. George!

I'm glad to hear you say the injuries are going away. It's getting too close to running season to be dealing with injuries... Oh wait, Im doing that :-(
