Ugh that #damnhill at the end! I wanted to hit 5 miles in my 40 minute #steadystaterun but came up short thanks to a long steep climb that came right at the end of what should have been mile 5. It’s the same hill that knocks everyone down in our neighborhood #turkeytrot every November. I am pretty sure my #gradeadjustedpace pace was well below what is shown here. A little disappointed to miss the goal but I’m definitely improving. Today’s SS segment was intentionally only at about 50% effort, so there was defimitely room to go faster. I will get there. And it was the first real run I have done in the @hokaoneone #carbonx. I’m still getting used to them but I like how my landing feels so much softer in them. #runblr #fitblr #springrunning #basebuilding #endurancetraining #keepbuilding #keepshowingup (at Mantua, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_6AyikHdej/?igshid=1vgfbcypa2krg
