Missed the last 2 days for various reasons so was going to make up some of the lost miles today....ended up only doing an extra 2.25 due to Heidi needing to leave, so hustled home asap. Had a 6 am webinar so didn't get my run started until 8:15 ish. 34 degrees with wet streets but no significant rain until the end of the run. In fact as i left my neighborhood the sun was shining on the Cascade Mts. and there were patches of low fog...Gorgeous! Home to Parkway then down to Mill Pond rd. and then to Centennial park. Then back through town and up the Parkway...tough...the regular Ridge hills sure seemed a lot easier after that beast of a run up the parkway. Since I was not able to get all my miles in I decided to do a fast finish and did a 6:45 quarter mile to end the run then walked it out. Splits - 8:46, 9:06, 8:20, 8:06, 8:39, 8:57, 9:03, 8:57, 9:16, 9:30, 9:02, 7:58, 6:45 Avg. Pace 8:45(darn good for me) and Avg. HR 151(loving that)
