Ran out McCulloch and back again this morning at a 7:07/mi pace. Today on my run I tried to focus on my form and make sure on the downhills I was not over striding putting more impact pressures onto my lower legs. That seemed to work because I ran mile 4 at a 7:02 back uphill on McCulloch from 1 block south of Trottwood Dr to Chemheuvi Blvd. I followed that mile up with a 7:00 mile from Chemehuevi Blvd to Smokey Dr. These are some pretty good hills and by the end I was feeling pretty good about the 6 miles I just pounded out. Summer is definitely here with overnight lowes in mid 70's. I brought 16 ounces of water with and drank almost all of it and this run was done at 5:15am.
