The added mile has some steeper sections so I'll consider this run a success. My left ankle is a bit sore as is my right quad (probably I'm compensating with the quad?) I feel like I may be running on the edge of what I can do speed work and hill wise without getting hurt? The final couple of miles on this run I got into a groove where my legs kept turning over even though my muscles felt like jello. That was kind of cool. Except for the final mile or so I think I was running at an aerobically sustainable pace (maybe this is post run wishful thinking). Not sure how long my legs could hold out at this effort though. A taper will sure help.
