Good hill run, longest of the year I think. Gained 400 feet in 4 miles, went down a steep hill, then turned around, went up and then down. Kept the knee and the sciatic mostly in check, though miles 5-7 were a little challenged. Fastest mile of the day was the 9th and last. Feeling good for Reach the Beach in 11 days.

Originally planned 5, but HHH weather, then the sun came out in full force just before my run. It was easy to turn around at 4 given that it was just a gear oil run anyway.

Ran 1.5 mile warmup, then 6 x 2:00 hard w/ 2:00 recoveries. Paces were kind of depressing for the effort spent, but I haven't done any speedwork, so the turnover is really not there. Ended with 7:28; 6:49; 6:58; 7:06; 7:25; and 6:58 on varied terrain. Warmed down about 2.25 miles.

Was going for an easy 5, but work meetings shrank it to 4. Probably not a bad thing given the hard run yesterday.

Good run, Aunt Betty plus more up Around the Mountain. Gained about 350 feet of elevation in a little more than a mile, was able to keep chugging up at ~9:00 pace, then sub 8:00s down again. Will have to call this good for RtB.
