Out towards Payson via canal road. I felt pretty decent and I pushed the last two miles on the flat and those MP miles were 7:58, 7:48, .15 7:19. My average pace was 8:16 with a total time of 59:03, I finished up with some upper body weights and some pushups. Its a good start to the week.

See you Monday.

Harry's Hill up. I had tired legs this morning but I was still faster on this route compared to a year ago... I am getting more like I was pre-covid which is hopefull goal. My average pace was 8:46 with a total time of 1:02:36, I finished up with some lower body weights and some pushups. I had 1 MP mile on the downhill at 7:49. I am hoping to improve on this as the year progresses.

See you tomorrow.
