Highline canal road over to Harrys Hill and then back to the house via the Stake Center, I felt pretty good with 2 MP miles at 8:17, 8:14. My average pace was 8:44 with a total time of 54:01, I finished up with my upper body weight training and some push-ups. I love it when I feel like I have a good run and my watch says that it was unproductive... HAHA

See you tomorrow.
