8 miles - 7:53 avg. - Met up with Scott at his house and conquered the hill up to the mouth of little cottonwood. In general, the hill is not horrible, but it is a decent climb and I was feeling a little sluggish this morning. In about 2.5 miles it climbs just under 400 feet. The main hill is .6 of a mile and climbs roughly 200 ft.
I was considering doing a tempo run tomorrow, and I still might, but today's run gave my quads a decent workout so I might hold off tomorrow. I am still just running by feel and trying to enjoy it for another couple months before I get into another training cycle. I don't want to set any hard and fast expectations or goals for my workouts right now so I can prevent getting burned out in Feb. or Mar. before Boston.
