Happy Hour - Friday, April 24th

61:20 (7.2 miles)

Drove down a little country road in Monterey County early Friday evening.  I had set out to get 6 or 7 miles in so once my odometer clicked over, I found a good place to pull over and park.  Did an easy out and back run in a quiet, green, secluded valley.  Temp was about 60 degrees.  Next up: I need to start getting in some intervals so I can increase my speed and drop my average mile time.

Out & Backs

46:05 (5.2 mi) morning (in Corral de Tierra)
41:12 (4.5mi) afternoon (very hilly - Fort Ord)

Morning: covered some easy rolling hills near the Markham Ranch/Corral de Tierra neighborhoods.  Beautiful, lush ranch land with cows, goats and plenty of bugs!  Heading out was easy, but I ran out of steam on the way back.

Afternoon: Tough, hilly run in Ft. Ord. Thought i'd gone farther than the 4.5 miles...  I'm shooting to consistently get my mile times under 9 minutes on 5+ mile runs.  I feel like some days it's easy, and on others its a struggle.
