Woke up this morning for a long run. Perfect weather. Ran down main on grass and rolling hills for 8 miles then turned around for 16 total. Easy and fun. Splits were 8:56, 8:57, 8:45, 8:48, 8:36, (starting to climb mountain trail)8:57, 9:00, 921, (back down) 8:08, 7:49, 8:07, 8:10, 8:21, 7:32, 8:50. Mile warm down thereafter.8:39average pace. Average heart rate was at 164 bpm or 75%HRmax. For the most part I can see where my up and down hills were with my splits. The flat areas I averaged around 8:10 pace.
I found a pretty cool trail at about mile 6 I started to run up, well It more like wogging:) I would like to explore it more and do a significant amount of my run there next week! Felt good post run. Took an ice bath and put on the compression sleeves. Ready to recover and get back at it on Monday.
