Happy Hills

For today's title, I wasn't sure if I'd go with sarcasm or the truth. After reading, you'll figure out which I chose.

We have great weather so it was time to tour our fair city of Pleasanton.

Although I had some residual soreness from the 10K, I went out for 6.8 miles with Chris. It was suppose to be either hill repeats or speed work but ended up being a little of both with a tidbit of torture.

Note to self: When running with recovering calves and sore quads, happy hills turn into lung-scorching, heart-bursting demons! Okay, a little on the dramatic but you get the point and it didn't help that after the Las Positas repeat, I forgot we had a hill on Foothill before Stoneridge.

In summary, I just wasn't feelin' it today. Maybe this is the low to balance my Sunday high. I don't even have much of an appetite. Eating is a real chore. I'll be cross-training tomorrow and hopefully get out of the funk.
