Hell Hole/Dam Rd loop. Wanted to attempt a tempo today and was hoping to get in maybe 4 good miles. 1.4 warmup then 6:30, 6:27, 6:59, 6:46 then 3.5 home. The first mile felt ok but I knew I wasnt going very fast. Couldnt go any faster and the dam rd hill killed me. Was able to speed up a little once it started back downhill but the body had nothing after about 3.5 and the remaning jog home was a battle to just stay under 8. Kind of wishing I hadnt signed up for Bryce 1/2 after the last week of running. Maybe things will turn a corner before then though.
