Met the BBK group today for a hilly workout. I got there a little late so I had to do most of the warm-up by myself. After warming up we did some tempo work in the parking lot of the church. We then headed out for a run up to 4800 W and back. Heading out was hard. My legs still have not recovered from running down Suncrest. Kelly and Julie were awesome. If they weren't there encouraging me I'm sure I would have walked. Our pace out actually wasn't as bad as it felt- it was about an 8:30 mm. The return was much better. Our average was about a 7:30 mm. I have run down this road once before at the end of a 20 miler but I did not realize what a hill it is. Overall, this was a hard workout for me but I finished it. As I was heading home it bugged me that I have not hit 10 miles in a workout for a while so I stopped at the river trail on 10600 S. and ran a cool down mile, just so I could log more than 10 miles- is that pathetic or what? |
