I'm at my grandparents in Mesa for the weekend and needed to get my last run of the week in. My knees are still a bit achey from yesterday's bike - those nasty hill repeats on 12-14% grade really were not great for the long haul. Oh well - keep icing them and they aren't sharp shooting pain - so that is good.
From my grandparents you either run up hill or down hill, so I ran 1.3 miles up hill first and then back. I didn't realize how steep it was until after I mapped it. Went up 292 feet in the 1.3 (4.25% grade) - knew it didn't feel great and realized why as I easily glided back down on the return. The first .6 of the race is a 5.7% grade - so hopefully it feels similar.
