AM run was an easy three miles. Felt really good to get out and loosen up my legs. In the afternoon we ran up Sunnyside Avenue to the Governers Grove (it's a gravel loop). We jogged one loop to loosen up and measure the distance. It was close to a half mile. We then did a fast loop that was supposed to be about 30 seconds slower than race pace. But I was feeling really good so I decided to go a bit faster and Chris stuck with me so that was awesome. Then we jogged back to Sunnyside Avenue and ran up to the Hogle Zoo trailhead. We did a 400 meter hilly run that was supposed to be at race pace. Then we jogged farther up the trail and did 4 half mile hill repeats. The trail had at least 3 uphills as you ran up and then running back you had really good downhill to push on. I am really glad that I was able to get some hill work because it is making my legs feel really strong!
