Today I decided to try pushing a bit. For the most part: no issues. I did, as expected, notice some pain when running up a somewhat steep hill.
A nice, “mild” (for January) morning. We had a dusting of snow overnight, so the roads weren’t 100% dry. What towns around the area do, in the summers, is go around and fill road cracks with tar. Those bands of tar when wet are very slick. It makes for some dancing around when running down steeper hills.
Today’s run was a 5.24 mile hills route, with the short 10%+ grade hill twice in the looping course. Pace was a more-like-it 9:33. Weight was 145.8.
