Well, I feel back because I backed out of hiking with a group of coworkers, but I really needed to run. I had planned to run this morning but couldn't get motivated. I had also planned to go on the hike, but completely bailed last minute and I think I made a few people wait for me. That sucks.
Anyway, the run was amazing. I climbed Smuggler Mountain Road. I warmed up for 10 minutes, then did 10 sets of 1 minute high intensity, 2 minute recovery. I went uphill for all 10 intervals, though on one of the fast intervals I of them I did jump out of the way of a couple mountain bikers to let them enjoy the sweet downhill. I broke my record and got to the obervation tower in 25 minutes flat, I believe, from my house. Really have been trying to exercise good breathing skills lately too. The last couple intervals were quite difficult, but then I got to the top of the climb right at the beginning of the 10th one and had to do sprints over some bridges which was pretty cool.
Slow jog the whole way back ended up going fairly fast on the downhill because it seemed easy and was really fun. The clouds and mountains were beautiful too. Nice breeze. Just another reminder of the paradise I'm luck enough to live in. Total time was 1:05:24. So damn good.
xoxo,
Blake
