A Good Workout at Westridge

The majority of my training is slow and comfortable, and that seems to work well for me.  Once in a while, however, it is good to get out and run harder.   I am very pleased with this morning's 14 mile run on firetrails, nearly 2,000 feet of climbing and an average pace just under 7:00 minutes per mile.  Here is the watch data:
