Tried for 8/mile average. Made it did the run in 24 min. Splits were 8:02, 7:54 and 8:04. Afterwards my feet were throbbing at work I started to worry about getting a stress fracture so I think I may run in regular shoes the rest of the week.

This was a super fun run. I did a pretty steep hill by my house as well as several smaller hills on Ina. The big hill is the pass on picture rocks road I think about 200 foot elevation gain. I need a new way to track my elevation. Nikeplus is not very good. anyway after the hills. I cut over the top of a hill and down into a stream bed adn then ran down the streambed for 1.5 miles then I just cut through the desert back to the car. I found out how to add the course to this. Here it is as best as I could trace it. course{Picture rocks course}

I wanted to go for more distance today since it was the weekend. I was feeling really good after yesterday. I did 7 miles on trails and the road. I felt super good after. I was a little sore but not bad. Here are my splits 8:03, 8:11, 8:28, 8:29, 9:13, 9:17 and 8:55. I obviously tired out after the first couple of miles but i was glad I was able to pick it up a little bit for the last mile.
