Total Distance
11.00

2 mile warm-up, 1 1/2 mile cool-down, 6x1 mile with 1/4 mile slow between.

6:40, 6:17, 6:43, 6:14, 6:50, 6:21

The odds were uphill, the evens were downhill as usual.  The easiest place to run a mile without worrying about stop-lights is up (and down) the canyon.  I really wasn't feeling it on my warm-up today but I'm good with how things turned out in the end.  I was really worn out on the last two and just told myself to get under 7 minutes on the uphill and 6:30 on the downhill.  I guess if I average it all out I'd be around a 6:35.

It was beautiful and warm this morning (although its snowing hard now) so lots of folks were exercising in the canyon.  I got lots of people cheering me on as they saw me with my I'm-hurting-eyes as I went up and down.  I love people.  They're nice.

Wow! Great mile repeats!! You're really whipping into great shape Jess!

I agree its fun to be cheered on while you workout. As long as its not "RUN Forest! RUN!" Can't tell you how many 11 year old boys have yelled that at me.

I had a junior high-school boy hang out a bus and yell that at me just a couple of months ago - too funny. Isn't that movie before their time??
