I ran out to Harry's Hill and ran up that bugger and I wanted to push the pace and my goal was to run it in under 9:30 pace and that is pushing it for me, my legs were feeling it towards the end but I was surprised to see that the pace was actually sub 9:20 which was really good for me. I then extended up to the mailboxes and then over to Loafer canyon road and then back to the house, I didn't push the downhill but the last mile is half flat and half downhill so I pushed the flat part to the house and that pace was 7:42 and the downhill mile before that was 7:46. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 30 minutes at a moderate to hard pace with 3 to 4 minutes of all out with the RPM above 100, the rest of it was above 95 so a very good workout. I felt really good today a little bummed cuz I didn't get out yesterday but I was not feeling real well and so I listened to my body, as hard as it was;) Tomorrow will be just a regular run since I took yesterday off, 7 to 8 miles and then the elliptical for a few, but the pace will be easy.

See ya tomorrow.

Nice work. Looks like we both had the desire for hill work today.
