Monday workout you say? Well don't mind if I do.  Jog down to Liberty Park to the water fountain then 5 loops of the park.  Felt pretty tough but was very consistent with laps within a few seconds of each other all around 8:30.  Final tally was 5:55 pace.  Finally figured out that Liberty is not flat and you can really feel it when you try to run fast there.  Then I dragged myself home very slowly.

Ran up to school and back plus a little extra to get to an even 15.

Nice workout. Do you do the wood chip trail or the road loop?

Its slightly uphill when you go from the SW corner to the east side of the park. I can notice it when I'm really dialed into a consistent effort, the pace slows down just a little bit in that stretch.

I do the wood chip loop, running on the dirt. I'm happy to give up some time on the loops for the easier surface for the legs. And I really noticed the hill in that part of the park.

That's an especially good workout then. I tend to trip over my feet just running easy on the wood chips :-)
