8.010.000.000.008.01

8.01 miles, 1:11:32, 8:56/mi, 1200' climbing.

The heat has returned.  Battling some nausea before the run but as soon as the run started, it went away and things turned out pretty well.  Going to hit this hill loop a bunch over the next week or so.

8.1 miles, 1:08:11, 8:25/mi.

I'm either struggling because its hot (PNW hot, not eastern seaboard hot) or I'm just not in very good shape.  I sure hope its the former.

8.05 miles, 1:07:44, 8:25/mi, w/ 10 Strides.

Hotter today but I actually felt better during the run.  Feet are still spoiled by the Hokas though.....these Torins make me feel like I'm running barefoot on asphalt.

3.14 miles, 28:26, 9:03/mi.

Pi run, completely unintentional.  Meant to be 8 with some hill work but just didn't have the energy.

1.009.050.000.0010.05

10.05 miles, 1:22:22, 8:12/mi, 1500+' elevation.  

Moderate effort hill loop run, pushed from yesterday.  3 loops ~400+/- per 2 mile loop, with a leading hill and a trailing down.  Area just got closed today due to fire hazard.....oops.  Promise I didn't start any.  Started pushing the effort after a 1 mile warmup.  Probably could've pushed a bit harder but wanted to keep the loops pretty even timewise and still faded a bit on the last uphill.
