Started out slow (stiff legs) and then tried to pick up the pace after the half way point. Little bit of right knee pain at the end, so I guess I'm pushing myself a little too hard with the build-up in hills, speed work and mileage.

Health data: RHR: 57

Easy recovery ride, after my long hill run yesterday - everything was pretty stiff starting out, but loosened up ok by the end - actually felt good once I got off the bike.

First time up Humboldt - a pretty good, about 4 mile constant climb, almost 800 feet up, then turn around and come back down 800 vertical feet. Spectacular evening run, took off around 4:30, watched the moon come up and the lights of the valley come on.

Mile or so of warm up, then a 1 mile track workout - 1'44", 1'46", 1'48", 1'36", for a total of 6 minutes, 54 seconds.

I was really disapponted with this time - so I did one more lap to see is I could "crank it up". First half of the lap went well, then the heart rate spiked and I slowed down - total 440 time of 1'26".

Another mile or so of warm-down....
