I did some hill work today, afternoon run at around 5:30 or so. I ran up past Mt Loafer school and then there is a 150 meter hill that is an 8% grade so the plan was to do 5 hill repeats and then run up to the mailboxes and then back to the house. I felt really good and I was able to keep a pretty good pace going up each one, they were all in the 7:10 to 7:20 range, quads felt pretty good. After that I extended up to the mailboxes and then I kept a pretty good pace back down and to the house. I had 2 downhill miles of 7:16, 7:41 Some flat and some hill, my average pace for the run was 8:17 with a total time of 53:45. I felt pretty good on the up hill but I need to run more relaxed on the downhill I always feel like I'm straining to not over do it so that will be something to work on after Utah Valley. After the run I did my lower body weight training, squats leg raises and calf raises. See ya tomorrow.
