Harry Davis Hill kicked my butt this cool brisk mourning. I was up at 5:30am got dressed and headed out, took Sasha's advice and used two pairs of tights for my legs and it kept me pretty toasty. My first mile was a little warm up of 8:25 and mile two was the start up HDH so I was alittle slower on this 8:56. Then I hit the main part of the hill and my time and legs where pretty much waisted mile 3 10:12, my 4th mile split was alittle better at 8:27 which was all down hill but slick. Mile 5 I did speed run of 7:59 and then a recovery run for my 6 mile 8:23, I ended up going a little extra this mourning about a quarter mile more I did .22 miles in 1:49. Total Miles 6.22 with a total time of 54:15, I don't know if the extra stength training on my lower body has wacked my legs out or if it is the extra layers I am carrying around, I quess it could be a combination of both, that and the cold. I also did 35 minutes of upper body strength training on the bowflex. I might go a little further tomorrow, maybe 7 miles as I am thinking of lengthening my mileage next week to 7 miles a day so maybe a little teaser run tomorrow.

Extra layers makes a big difference.

Boy did it ever. It does seem like I have to work a little harder with the extra layers, but its not to bad.
