Hills

This morning's run wasn't quite as good as yesterday's; it was more of a recovery than what had been scheduled.

• 34:31, 4.00 miles, 8:38 pace (6:56 best), 475 cal, 162 HR (192 max)
• Mile 1: 9:15, 135 HR (with a bathroom break)
• Mile 2: 8:35, 177 HR
• Mile 3: 8:42, 173 HR
• Mile 4: 8:03, 168 HR

Besides that I had to take a bathroom stop, I hadn't eaten but a couple cucumbers for breakfast beforehand and wasn't hungry at all. Not that it was at the same intensity as a race would have been, but I definitely didn't have a empty feeling that I'd had on Saturday.

Ride later today.... It won't look quite as it should (5×5min@3min long hill, 1:15 total), but it will be hilly! I ended up doing only one loop, 33:02, 7.11 miles, 12.9 mph (44.2 max), 617 cal, 154 HR (188 max)


It took me 6:38 to climb from the corner of Franklin and Moores to Sawyer Road: 0.75 miles, 163 HR, 6.8 mph. The next lap was from the corner of one street who's name I don't know and Berry's Chapel: 3:05, 0.25 miles,169 HR, 4.9 mph. The next lap was from near Holly Tree Gap and another street whose name I can't remember: 1:44, 0.25 miles, 160 HR, 7.9 mph. Then the last hill was up Holly Tree Gap road, I think from the fence on the left side of the road: 3:00, 0.32 miles, 168 HR, 6.3 mph.

The reasons I cut off one loop were numerous. We will be climbing a lot this weekend. I have Inversion tonight. I wanted to shop Publix's sales—it was a good shop!
