Double Digit Running

This week marked the first week of double digit training in my marathon training. I decided on a very challenging but enjoyable route. I started at our house in the Bountiful benches, then made my way down to 1850 N. in Centerville. The challenging part was not getting to 1850 north, although there were hills on the way, it was getting back up.

On the way back there were two major hills. The first is just before Parrish lane in Centerville. The next I will call death hill: 4th north. I made my way up the hill and had a great pace for most of it, but as time went on the strength began to give way and jello legs started. What made it hard was the fact it was my last mile or so of the run. My calves are feeling it, but that is ok. I need the strength training and the cardio beneft.
