On the Downhill

I guess I needed a five week recovery period. Today I felt like I was running again! Just like the old days when I was fast! (in my book).
I had good form and felt very strong the entire 5.6 miles. One hill had a 36% grade. I am really getting some good training running downhill. I am learning how to have a "controlled let go" if you know what I mean. These hills are steep out here, and I'm starting to love it!
The dogs along this particular route are definitely getting used to me, I still have the one batch that are stubbornly refusing to be nice but I shall overcome!
I am planning on running a race this Monday in Nixa, Mo. It's for a good cause, Relay for Life, and I doubt I will be able to run all out, but I'll take a flat tempo run out of it....5K.
Have a great rest of the weekend! Good racing to all, Bill, Carlee, and anyone else I may of missed.
