Trying to improve my running

Nice run this AM. I was able to tun the whole uphill portion and felt like it was faster on the trails than it has been in the past. It was also beautiful to see the desert starting to bloom.

AP: 9:42/mile Vert: 304 

I thought I would try and run the route that I used to run pretty regularly. It has a little bit of a hill that i used to feel like was pretty tough. After having run offroad for the last couple of weeks this run was pretty easy and I was about 30 seconds faster than usual. The uphill 2 miles were just about 8:30/mile and the downhills were 7:48 and 7:53. 

AP: 8:09/mile

I felt pretty sore today from the other runs this week. I thought I should take it easy today, I only went just over 2 miles.  It felt pretty good towards the end after I loosened up.

AP: 8:07/mile 

This was the offroad loop with an extra hill thrown in. I was able to run everything up until the steep part of the hill. I am not sure if not being able to run up the hill was because of being too tired to run up the hill or because of all of the loose rocks. It is hard to run on those rocks.  I feel like I wam going to twist my ankle any minute. The 2nd mile was the main uphill mile my pace was 14:45.

AP: 11:16/mile 

Ran the trail by my house. I was able to do all of the hills without stopping for the first time, still not super fast but better than in the past and the hills don't fill as bad.

AP: 10:10/mile
