Hill work today with a little tempo run thrown in. Harry Davis Hill was brutal, with a 15 mile an hour head wind and a 10% grade and a bad back its enough to do this 43 year old in. Did my standard 2 mile warm up and then at the start of mile three it is striaght up hill for a mile and a quarter and then with a head wind  it felt like my legs were in quicksand. About half way through I wanted to quit but I gave myself a pep talk and away I went. I was really surprised with my heart rate while this was all going on I felt like I had more in the tank, as you will see in my splits. My splits went as follows; Mile 3- 10:52(152) 10% grade for 1 mile, 8:45(148) not so hilly but still going up, 7:57(159) a combination of up hill and then down. 7:18(151) this mile was straight downhill and I did back off abit so as not to get an injury, I then did a 2 mile cool down. Total time was 1:11:51, I was really proud of myself today. That is a tough run and I really pushed it up those hills and still had some strength towards the end. I think my fitness is coming around, although I feel like I have along way to go to get where I want to be, but I feel that I am on the right track. Recovery run tomorrow and then I head for San Diego.
