Ran Payson canyon up/down run with Darin and Carl on a kinda dark and muggy morning. Tough run, especially uphill as the pace was already into the 7's by the end of the first mile. Usually the pace stays mostly in the 8-9 range on the uphill but for whatever reason things were quicker today. Maybe because this is the last time they're doing this particular run for the year and they wanted to finish with a bang? I hung on for about 2 1/2 miles but then I was major sucking wind and I noticed my HR pushing into the 190's which is about where I max out at the end of a 5K race. So I finally told Darin to take off and I slowed down up to Beercan where I turned around. Went a little slower coming down than past weeks as those early fast uphill miles took it out of me. But I suppose it was good for me? On a positive note my weight was just over 141 yesterday which is lowest it's been since May.
