No run yesterday. Plan was to run hills today to improve power. 17 degrees and when starting the run my eyes kept watering like crazy. about 1.75 miles in my ears and hands started to warm up. I hit all the small hills hard on the way to the big hill on the parkway. Had HR up to low 160's on the smaller hills. Hit 176 on the big hill and held it there to the top. Hard run but not killer. Felt good to push up the hill. Stopped at the main park at the ridge to get a drink and when I pushed the button...I'm kind of stupid some times...17 degrees does not allow water to travel freely at the drinking fountain. Took the trail back from parkway to carmichael and a lot of that kept my hr at mid 160's(tempo effort). Avg. Pace 8:48 Avg. HR 155
