I ran an old and tough 6 mile route that I haven't run since last year, and I only ran it once last year. It's got 11 hills in the 6 miles. At least they are hills to me, probably not to everyone. Anyway, it started out well. The first mile was 7.50. The second mile went OK, about 8.03 (tougher mile). But just over mile 2 I hit the steepest hill. I really don't remember it being that steep. The run went south from there. Pace ended up being about 8.34. The positives: decent 1st & 2nd miles, never really felt bad (at least on the flatter sections), finished relatively strong, and ran the whole way (I walked some last year).
I'm glad this is a rest/down week. I wanted today to be similar to the last 3 weeks, but I'm am going to shorten the rest of the runs this week. I hopefully will still get in 30 miles this week, but I'm planning on running everyday (something I haven't done yet) so my daily mileage will be lower.
