Pretty Little Hill extended. I tried hard to just keep it easy this morning. My average pace was 9:01 with a total time of 1:04:36, I finished up with some lower body weights and some pushups. heart rate was the same as if I was running an 8:20 pace as it was at the easier pace... Kinda weird.

See you tomorrow.

Usual Saturday route. Legs were tired but I didn't hit the wall or anything just tired. I'm thinking its from the increased mileage this week. My average pace was 8:50 with a total time of 2;13:54, I finished up with some upper body weights and some pushups. Over 40 miles for the week. That's a pretty good week for me.

See you Monday.
