XC Intervals at 3/4s Effort. Another muggy one. Take advantage and throw on sleeved shirt to make things harder. Grass is fairly dry under the trees, but low fog has it soaked in open areas. Appears to have been cut earlier this week.

Up = 2.41 hilly miles at 7:41 average pace. Two surges.

Workout is 3 x 12:00 minutes XC at 3/4s effort with 3:00 minute jog intervals. Used the first one to get a feel for running on grass again. Hit every dang hill on the course on the second one. Leg muscles getting tired by number three and had to focus hard to hold form. Average paces = 7:03 / 7:01 / 6:59. Not one single criticism about this effort.

Down = 1.54 miles at 7:53 average pace. Saw too many runners out this morning to keep count. Same with walkers. Had the grass all to myself, however. Sun is up and hammering down hard on my way home. Dime, nickel, and two pennies.
