WRRRU (was real recovery run UNTIL).  Well ran to rec center 4 miles at easy pace 9:06. This route has a 1/2 mile 7 percent grade uphill.  I love to wake myself up on it.  Then I couldn't stop there.  I ran a TM hillwork starting on 3 % and increasing by 1/2 % each minute to 7 %  x two minutes then back down to 3 in 1/2 percent decreases then back up in increments to 7 % x 2 minutes and ending back down at  2.5 % times one minute.  Total mileage here 4.1 at 8:49 avg.  Sweating grossly.  Have  capri sweats on and I am dripping.  Ran home at avg pace 8:22.  Third mile home was 7:35 with that hill.  I was trying to go easy down it but like I said it is steep.  Really feel all joints today.  Just the over forty feelin'.  12.1 miles total today.  Really didn't want to run at all so I should be glad I got in 12.  : DDDD   I want to eat a lot.  So I think I will.

Sorry I would have invited you but I'm so slow you would have run laps around me. I will call you when I can keep my 8:30 pace without pulling my body out of whack.

I would love to run any pace with you-- 10s would be just fine, stopping and stretching would be just fine. You need a jogging buddy : D

Smooth, what do you think the grade on miles 4 and 5 of JRP is?

Nice spontaneous hill workout. You kicked that incline's tail! Another one of Julie's not-a-recovery-run :)
