Today was Harry Davis Hill Day! I was feeling really good this morning so I decided to see if I could finally set a PR on this darn hill. My previous best was 9:52 for the mile long hill, so I decided to push it. I wanted to make sure my heart rate didn't break the 167 to 168 range but I knew at that rate I would be pushing pretty hard, but I went for it. My split for that mile was 9:21 and my heart stayed right at 167 through the whole split. I am siked, if you knew this hill you would clearly understand how good this is, especially a runner of my caliber who is on the lower end of the food chain so to speak. My last split I was going at a faster pace tring to get home before my kids caught the bus, and I just barely made it: 8:13 on that split. The reat where done a a recovery pace of 9:00. Total time was 57:52, (which is a PR on this course for me) average Heart Rate was 150 and pace average was 8:46. It was a great morning for a run and I feel really good and happy my foot felt really good through the whole run. See ya tomorrow, and GO JAZZ!!!!!!

Sounds like it was a great run. I love days like that. How did the foot hold up?

It felt great while I was running but it is a little sore in the arch area. But I massaged it and iced it so hopefully it will get better as the day goes on, I am still not 100% but I think it is on the tail end of it, hopefully.

Way to go Bro. I done that hill alot over the years, they don't call it Harry Davis hill for nothin. Good job. You rock. The Jazz will sweep this series.
