Ok its been to long since my last post. I have been pretty good about my workouts but due to leaving my HRM strap at Dan's I haven't recorded much new data. Today we ran the Sabino canyon road for our long slow(er) run for the week. Woah simply woah what a road this thing is. It starts off nice you climb one hill then you start up the path to your total destruction. It begins pretty nice and easy with a very mild grade, you cross a few dams that have water flowing over the top (btw wet shows while they may actually only way a little bit more feel like anchors) but then it just keeps going on and on, and getting steeper and steeper. The final mile is just brutal with a grade of nearly 20% this is no joke. The return trip was as easy as the out trip was hard. If your wearing a nice wicking shirt like we were get it wet in the stream crossing and really cool yourself off it was great. Got back and much to my surprise found my pace much faster then expected and a lower avg HR then I expected way to go me! I'm glad Dan was out there with me as I might have been tempted to walk at a couple of spots otherwise. Going swimming this afternoon, tomorrow is yoga in the morning then a core workout after the tricats meeting, so pretty tame.
