4th Street Hills - 11.25 miles, averaged 7:38. Did .5 mile pickup (6:36) coming up back up Union Street Hill .

Got a bit turned around and lost (somehow). Only managed 300 feet of gain and still lost 388, but I got a few hills in. Not enough of those in my training. One of my focus areas for this year.

Vinton Woods Loop - 9 miles, averaged 7:40. Sluggish to start, snappyish at the finish. 

Wore my cadence sensor for the first time since I got it. It's not a necessary device, but I'm pretty tone deaf so other methods of measuring cadence are difficult. My average was 93 strides per minute or 186 steps per minute. I've had other runners tell me mine is high. I guess it is for moving at an easy pace. Seems to be one aspect keeping injuries down though.

North side - 7 miles, averaged 7:47. 

Wanted to run more on National Running Day, but I'm getting a bit excited and ready to run some miles, so I'm trying to hold back on the ponies. So I kept it easy and decided on a pickup to see were my lungs were. Did a bit under half mile pickup around 5k effort. Did .42 @ 5:33 pace. Felt good.

+1 loose dog from yesterday. I had to mule kick the little ankle grabber because it was going for my feet.
