Comments: Got one in but, as I tell everyone, the important one is your next one. The routine matters more than any one workout. So I decided to follow my own advice and get my butt out the door.
The weather was about perfect so that helped. I decided to push the pace a little -- nothing really "hard" but not settling for just cranking it out either. Mainly I focused on cadence. Keeping my feet moving even on the uphills.
At the end, I found almost half the run was in the zone five heart rate. So it was a pretty intense effort in comparison with most of my recent runs.
