8.26 Mile Outdoor Run

Another good run on the road with the hills. Felt a little better. My knees are feeling stronger than last week. I'm going to slowly work the pavement and hills into my run workouts. 8.26 miles in 1hr1min... about an 8mph pace. Not bad given the terrain. It started as a peaceful, relaxing run. Then Metallica came on the iPod Mini Shuffle so I had to up it. Before I knew it I was blasting my pulse north of 180bpm on each hill. At one point I saw it at 185bpm. So much for a relaxing run. I went all over the neighborhood. In and out of just about every cul-de-sac in a two mile radius. Good run.
