Harry's hill up. I felt pretty good but my poor lungs are not use to the pace mainly on the up hill but great on the downhill and the flat. My average pace was 8:35 with a total time of 1:01:25. I had 3 MP miles at 7:43 (downnhill), 8:08 uphill and downhill, 8:05 flat, 8:08 flat. I finshed up with some upper and lower body weights and some push-ups.

See you tomorrow.

Out to Payson Park and back via canal road. The legs were a little tired this morning so I just tried to keep the pace easier. Around a 9 minute pace.  My average pace was 9:00 with a total time of 1:04:56.

See you tomorrow.

Out towards Payson park again but I didn't extend to the park. I wasn't as fast as I was in the first part of the week but turnover was stil pretty good and I beat the 9 minute guy which means I am still better than High School. My average pace was 8:48 with a total time of 55:15, i finished up with some upper body weights and some pushups.

See you tomorrow.

Out to the river trail and then made my way back. Pace was slow again today and the legs just felt they were waisted. My average pace was 9:33 with a total time of 2:06:00, just not what I thought it would be today with all the better p;aces that I have had this week. I did not eat enough yesterday which probably was part of the problem and then I actually broke the 40 mile barrier. I need to be smarter. but still a pretty decent week for me.

See you Monday.
