I ran the Payson Park loop this morning and it was a little chilly... I felt pretty good so I did an up tempo run, not at true tempo pace but I wanted to keep the 7 plus miles under 60 minutes so that makes me have to push it and keep my heart rate up so I know I'm working harder than say a recover pace effort:-) My average pace was 8:19 with my heart rate at 151 and my total time was 59:20 I had two miles where I pushed a little harder than the rest ands they were, 8:01(146), 7:39(158)... My legs felt a little heavy towards the end and i think that was due to not running very much for the 3 days I was down south, but they did feel a little bouncy... I also did the standard upper body strength training, 20 minutes, I will due Harry's Hill this week probably Wednesday or Thursday:-)

See ya tomorrow.
