Did the out and back 6 today towards Fort Pierce.  Just a nice easy run.  I have to make the trip to Vegas today for appointments.   Supposed to be a late one.  Not really looking forward to it.

Ran the Little Valley loop the opposite direction so there was more uphill.  There were 2 runners across the road from me so I pushed the pace up the hill to stay with them.  A little friendly competition is always good.  Tommorrow I'll do some speed stuff.  Not looking forward to that.  I have Webelos and Hunter's basketball.  I had 14 Webelos this evening.  I'm solo with them now that the ward split so I invited one of the dads to come.  Two of them showed up so it worked out good.

Today was speedwork at the Desert Hills track.  I did 4 800's and 2 400's with quarter jogs in between.  I really detest speedwork, but I guess it's a necessary evil to get faster.  Especially when I have to run my training runs at a slower pace than I want to so I can stay injury free.

I ran the 4 800's at:

2:58

3:00

I ran the 2 400's at:

Dace and I met for some repeat hill work on River Road in the industrial area. We ran up and down the dirt road that goes to the water tanks. It's a little over a 1/2 of a mile up to the last tank. We did that 4 times, and then ran to Desert Hills High and back. I thought I was going to die on the uphill. I hadn't done a lot of steep uphill recently.

Dace and I ran our 12 mile loop through Tonaquint, Bloomington Hills, and around the river.  He tried to back out due to a little rain, but I was able to convince him.  The temperature was perfect.  We kept the pace down, and was just a nice easy run.
