11:30 am run from work. High 70s to start low 80s to finish. 11th ave out and back via the U hospital and fed heights.This is descent for the first half and a climb for the second half so it's grueling on the way back. I ran a bit faster today and with the heat it ended up being a good moderate effort. 7:42 pace with 700 ft of ascent.
Knee hurt at first but not after the 2nd mile. That was the hope with some shoes with soles and perhaps that was the necessary tweak...
I kept on thinking I should do five mile runs when I wasn't running. Just five miles five times a week. Why not? But I never did those runs. Somehow, eight miles feels like a better threshold. If I am out there at least an hour, I've had a good workout.
