6 Mile Run with the Longest Hill Ever!

Workout for 2.5.12: Run since Saturday got cut short

Since my workout got cut short on Saturday I felt I needed to get a run in on Sunday after all it was Super Bowl Sunday which meant food and alcohol! Norris had to go into work for a few hours so I decided to get up early and go with him. He works in Mission Viejo there is a lot of hills there. Actually I think every street has some type of hill so I figured that would be my best bet. Plus the view is nice... He planned on being there for 2hrs max I didn't want to push it and do the run I did when I was there last time (12miles) so I went for half.

It wasn't an easy 6 that's for sure! I had a good warm up and got started the star was the easiest (it was down hill. I want to say about half way done was with the hill started. I swear that hill has got to be longer than the one in Orange. But I got it done! No complaining towards the end was down hill again and I felt my hamstrings and butt get a little tight. Once I was done I had my recovery drink (chocolate milk) a good stretch and the pain was gone. For some reason eggs and pancake sounded soooooooooooo good! Once Norris was done with work we went for breakfast and I killed a short stack with eggs and bacon (I really only ate half a pancake but that's besides the point). All in all I would say it was a very good run!!! Pace 10:48 min/mi
