Quick 8k this afternoon, between kindergarden open house and pick-up at the current daycare.  Once again, I beat the weather - which closed in quite significantly as I got the girls ready to head home.

A sheen of snow and slush on the roadway, so I kept things rather simple.  Up and down two of the sidestreets in the neighbourhood and then down through the park and back up Ellis Ave.  That hill used to be my nemesis in the Learn to Run and 10k clinics.  Had trouble keeping under 156 bpm for the duration, but felt pretty good attacking it.

Time  50:39

Distance 8k (5mi)

Pace  6:19/k (10:07/mi)

HR Zone 136 - 156 bpm

HR Max 169 (observed), Avg 151
