I felt really good today. My legs felt strong and my cardio felt better. Obviously that is from taking the weekend off to rest. This is still a challenging course that hurts with the hills. The first .85 of a mile is basically all uphill. Then it goes about .25 downhill, then another .25 uphill. After that it is about another .15 dowhnhill and probably .35 uphill to the turnaround. Then repeat the same all the way back. So generally I am coming back faster, but it takes it out of me based on the difficulty going out...why do I do this again, lol?

Today wasn't too bad of a run. It is still really humid down here, but the heat is somewhat cooling down. Either way, I need to be out running anyway. I wanted to keep it nice and easy today and that certainly happened on the first mile, but then I kicked it up on the way back (for my fitness level at least). Generally on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am just trying to get a few slow miles in to warm the body up and stay loose.

9:06   8:20  3:41(.5 mile) = 8:27 AP at an average of 156BPM

I really started pushing it the last mile, so from 1.5 to 2.5 I finished in 7:45.
