I ran Harry's Hill this morning the first time in about 5 months, my legs felt bouncy and had some zip in them which is a good sign. I plan on doing this run once every couple of weeks until summer gets here and then I will start doing it once a week to prepare for SGM. When I turned the corner and that hill was staring me right in the face I thought Oh Crapola! My legs felt real good going up but my lungs were having a hard time, I was averaging an 8:30 mile for most of it but then lost it towards the end a little bit and ended runing it in 9:08which is pretty good for me. I then extended my run up towards the mail boxes at woodland hills but I went about half way to my 4 mile mark and then headed back down the same way I came via Harry's Hill. I took it pretty easy coming back down as to not injure anything, I feel really good about this run, very pleased! My legs were getting pretty tired towards the end but I was in a cool down mode at that point anyway. I know my legs are going to be trashed for tomorrows run but I feel like that is a good thing because as they say "No Pain No Gain"...
Average pace was 8:34 with my heart rate average at 147 total time was 1:09:19...
See ya tomorrow
