Hill workout this morning. The majority of my running is on the flat roads right around my house. Every Thursday from now until the marathon on hill day. The closest hill to my house is about a mile away and is a freeway overpass. It's about a .75 mile round trip over and back. We did 4 round trips and I tried to push the pace a little on the up and down hill sections. My garmin died (forgot to turn it off yesterday) right at two miles today so Meg let me use hers so I could keep track of my pace, what a nice lady. I think all three hill miles were right at or just under 8:00/mile. The warm up and cool down miles were pretty slow. Legs felt a bit tired after the workout, hope they recover by tomorrow. That makes 197 miles for the month of July which is my second highest total ever. My highest ever is 200 miles in February (short month) and I ended up injured for the month of March and messed up my training for Ogden. I need to continue to be cautious and listen to my body so the same thing doesn't happen again this time around.
Time: 50:44 8:27/mile
