I ran the woodland hills mailbox route but I ran it in the oppisite direction from last week, this week I went up Harry's Hill first and then up to the mailboxes and then back to Loafer canyon road and then home. My legs were really strong going up Harry's and then up to the mailboxes no tightness at all, my pace wasn't all out but it was up beat and I felt like I had more in the tank if I wanted it, I was breathing pretty hard though;) On the downhill portion my legs were feeling it but after I got back on Canal road they seemed to recover. My average pace was 8:05 with my HR average at 156, total time was 57:55, after Harrys hill my splits went like this; 7:47 some up hill, 8:01 more uphill, 7:30 all downhill, 7:29 half downhill and then half on flat... I didn't really push it hard on the downhill I just let gravity do its thing, I feel pretty dang good about this;) I finished up with 20 minutes on the elliptical at a Moderate to hard pace and then I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups. I feel really good about today since I didn't get out yesterday, now here is to hoping that the storm coming in will hold off until later tomorrow. See ya then.
