I havent ran Harry's Hill in a while so I went for it, my breathing was way off and labored and kinda scary but my legs handled it fine. I don't know what was up with breathing but hopefully its just not enough hill training. My average pace was 8:40 with a total time of 55:28, I finished up with some lower body weight training. I had 3 MP miles 8:17, 7:37, 8:08, it wasn't my fastest on this route but at least its a start.

See you yomorrow.

Out past Gu Corner and down into the river bottoms, just slow and steady but the last mile my legs were really feeling it. My average pace was 8:53 with a total time of 1:30:12, I need to get more consistant and I need to lose about 10 pounds too. I think that has a lot to do with all my issues, slower pace and etc.

See you Monday.
