My legs were tired today but I didn't feel altogether bad. Reasons could be: heavy (for me) in-week mileage after a week off; mornings are always a bit slower for me; too fast a pace on the hilly stuff earlier in the week; two beers the night before; or I ran at 4 p.m including hill sprints then 6 a.m. when I usually do not do two runs that close together.
Loop from home to downtown to 600 E to 2nd Ave up memory grove, up a perilous trail to the Bonneville Road loop, back to the capitol, down capitol hill. So a run with some climbing and finding where a trail ended in memory grove. Average 8:40 miles including an 11:57 mile hiking up the memory grove hill. Minus that one hill, average 8:15 miles. |
