Ran the "Pie Hill" course through steep hills, incorporating 400m x 22 w/.25 mile jogged between intervals- 13.6 miles total.  I've been working hard the past two weeks to get more quality mileage in (vs. quantity) and push myself beyond comfort level more frequently.  Definitely feel a sense of progress.
