Today was hills...and lucky for us the winds have died down and it was only 68 degrees this morning...along with 86% humidity. I ran a mile to CVS to meet Annette and then we warmed up for another mile together. My legs are still sore and feeling the effects of Saturday, so I decided to push if I felt good. We ran the Parkway Palisades simulation which is 1.13 miles of nothing but up and down. It ends up being a really good work out and we need to get to the point we are adding repeats on, but for now we are doing 4 x 1.13 and by the last one, I was tired. I was pleased with my pace on the two repeats heading out, but the 2 coming back were slower than I would have liked, but they also required the most focus ... nothing unusual there. Another mile back to CVS and then a mile + home to equal 9 for the day. A pleasant surprise when I got home - my son had left a 64oz. Fruit Punch G2 in the fridge from baseball yesterday....I downed that pretty fast, it didn't stand a chance. Avg Pace 8:26
