Trying to improve my running

Went up Wasson peak again. A little slower than Saturday but still able to run essentially the whole way. AP 11:18.

Ran up sombrero saddle this morning and the along the trail for a while. It was a beautiful morning tons of animals out saw a herd of deer and javelinas right on the trail. I am getting upset with my watch. This is the 4-5 time it has stopped working right after going out the door when it says it has a good charge left when I start. I don't want to put up the money for a new one but I may have to. Any ideas on a good one to get? I like having my info on the Garmin connect site.

4 laps up beacon hill.

Did a time trial 10k this morning. I wanted to get a PR my old record was 49:48. I was aiming for 45 minutes. I was able to get 45:57. I did the run up wade road and the uphill miles were a little slower though all of them were under 8/mile. I chose this because I really like that route and I knew the last couple of miles would be downhill and help when I was tired. My splits were: 7:22, 7:29, 7:45, 7:35, 7:04, 7:20 and 6:43. I think I may have gone out a little too fast the first half mile was sub 7 min pace. Mile 3 was uphill with just over 100 ft of vert.

Ran on the trail by my house. I went pretty slow. I was sore from yesterday's time trial.

Did a run up Wasson peak today. I wanted to get more distance and more vert so I added an extra trail to the run. I would have gone further but I had to quit to get back to my sons tball game. Beautiful sunrise run the only drawback is the trail I took to the top of the mountain today had the sun glareing in my eyes for a good portion of the run. Glad I had the sunglasses. This trail to the peak has a significantly more steep section and I had to walk some up that. Time: 1:48:48. AP: 11:35
