Went with Kimi over to base of Harry's Hill for some mile hile repeats. Ended up going up Harry's 3 times. Glad to feel like the uphill is getting easier for me. Also planning some hiking for later today.

Nice early morning 7 miler in the dark. Legs feeling pretty good other than I can still always feel the tendon-bum-itis in the right leg when I stretch. But at least it's not bothering me when I run. But I'm still chicken to do any kinds of strides or abruptly speed up. But don't seem to be any worse for the wear pushing sub-7 pace on the downhill runs so I'll continue to do that and call that my speed-work/tempo running. Starting to get excited for SGM. I think my plan will be just to try and BQ (sub-3:25).

Dandy 21 mile run down Payson Canyon and into Salem. 16-17 miles of mostly smokin downhill then flatter from Payson to Salem. Stayed with the speedy trio of Ryan, Beth, and Ken for a little over 1/2 of the run and averaged just under 7 min pace for first 13 miles. Slowed down considerably over the last 7 miles and endup up with 7:28 ave pace. Overall feel pretty good about the run. Gotta love that downhill running!
