We decided to do the Franklin hill as another short run. We didn't quite go as fast as the last 5k (which was about 8 min miles), but we did manage to do it in 8:42's. (Again, Dave was a bit faster at 8:35's...and I'm sure he could have gone faster given that he waited for me and Asia at the top of Franklin).
Anyway, Asia said that his knee didn't feel all that bad, and we were all able to get a nice, quick run in. I calculated the calories burned - only 439...I guess if I'm going to keep this weight loss program up, I'm going to have to supplement those runs with some other exercises. Based on what I've been doing so far between running and boot camp, I think I'll be in good shape as long as I'm burning somewhere around 700 calories exercising. Obviously, the easiest way will be to continue to run farther distances (i.e., 5 miles at 8:45/mile pace) - so I'll keep pushing towards that goal.
(Total run count since I started the blog: 117 miles)
