Was able to get in 3 runs during the week of about 3 miles each (slow pace) and a bunch of hiking. 2 days in excess of 100 flights of stairs climbed according to fit bit and 400+ flights for the week. My legs are tired but feel stronger!
After getting back I ran a 7 miler on Sunday. Being on flat ground and sea level made an obvious difference. The hills of Brimfield were very easy to climb relative to last week. I roughly shot for 8:00 pace and wound up finishing up with 8:02 pace. I pushed fairly hard but not full effort by any stretch (maybe 80% effort?). My 5th mile was ran into a strong wind and really slowed me down (8:17 pace) and my final mile was 7:30 pace.
Ran another 5K on Monday at recovery pace (8:45). This was a bit of a push after yesterdays long run but I felt good the whole run (just tired but no real pain).
Did wind up setting a new PR for 10K on NRC. Decided to start posting my achievements every time I get a new one so I have a place to look back.
