7/8 saturday long run- the Bonnell pimple

Time 6am, Temp 70's, humidity High, Route Scenic/bonnell/scenic, distance 14.8, time 1:51, group : Gazelles (Jorge, Joe, Clint)

today was our weekly long run and I was determined to not start too hard. We went out at 7:45's and held them to the hill and back, which we affectionately named the pimple. People are so intimidated by Mt Bonnell that we felt it necessary to give it some trash talk, to put it in it's place so to speak. As usual, the opposite occured and we were humbled and crumbled by the top, although we did the steps as an FU to the whole adventure. Uneventful run, except that i could really feel my quads today, and the ankle was acting up as well. I think the last few days have put more stress on the body than it's been used to recently, so its starting to talk back. On the way back, we decided to return via Scenic, and started to pick up once on LA Blvd.
By Mangias, I was cruising with Jimmie, and we pushed each other back to A shores the long way.

COMMENTS: Feel tired today, not sure if its increase in training, or other issues. Take tomorrow off for swimming and see if that helps bring some spring back to the step.
