Evening run, no wind, Temp 85'
It was in the high 90's in the Valley so I went up Butterfield canyon and ran the top 5 miles of the canyon where it was a nice 85 degrees and mostly shady. I just got done with a 12 hour shift and was glad it was Friday and no work tomorrow. The canyon was peaceful. I ran a 10:10 mile average up the canyon and a 6:17 mile average down the canyon with the last mile which is the flatest but still a decent grade in 5:30.
My legs really take a beating running down the canyon as it drops between 250-500 feet per mile. I was planning on doing a last fast mile but by mile 8 & 9 I was questioning if it was a smart thing to do. I didn't do the smart thing, instead I ran hard like any self respecting runner would do to make sure my legs wont recover fast. Oh well, it was fun.
