I hit the roads this morning as promised. I hit my normal weekend hills and suffered as usual.
1:40:53, 8.30 miles, 12:10 pace, 1580 calories
Mile 1) 11:40
Mile 2) 12:29
Mile 3) 12:16
Mile 4) 12:05
Mile 5) 12:01
Mile 6) 12:02
Mile 7) 12:40
Mile 8) 12:15
last .3 ) 11:39 pace
I think it is fairly obvious where the hills where the really big hills were (miles 2 and 7). Beyond these two miles, I think I was pretty consistent. Given that I was running up a slope that I would be afraid to ride a skateboard down, I think I did ok.
I would have gone farther but I was a bit late for getting my daughter to her Saturday classes. So I had to wrap it up.
In terms of Energy - I started a little low but snapped out of it quickly. I got into a pace I could sustain at the end of mile 1 and worked through mile 2. Then I hit a stride at mile 3 and the hills didn't seem to bother me. Compared to last week I cut some serious time off my run time. Good news.

Very nice run Rob, that's a long run in my book.
Based on what your non-hill miles are, I'd say that's pretty awesome what you're doing on miles with the hills.
You're doing fantastic and putting in some serious miles there. Great work!!!
Thanks for the kind words all.
