Tonight was a much better run then the past week has been. I'm blaming the last week on hormones... nuf said. 

I ran the parkway but decided to try to fast miles in the mix.

1 8:44 - still having trouble making my warm-up at slower miles.

2 8:37 - still just supposed to be taking it easy.

3 8:15 - This was my first mile picking up my pace. I was hoping for 8mm but it was a rolly uphill part of the route. Effort was hard

4 9:02 - slowing it down

5 8:33 - still easy, I have turned around and it's a rolly down hill now.

6 7:51 - picked up the pace... as you can see still mainly down hill.

7 8:33 - slow down

.30 8:45 more slow down back to the car and almost getting hit as a huge truck pulls out of a parking lot. I let him know I thought he was number 1. I don't think he even saw me.

You've certainly got the speed. I'm glad you're feeling better and that you didn't get hit by the truck.

It's funny how so many drivers seem to be #1 these days. Lol!
