Here's a view from the beginning of my 7 miler today.  You can see the Griffith Observatory in the distance, high on the hill.  On the run, I pass the observatory, so this run begins in a very vertical fashion.  It took me 1:08 to run it, I averaged 9:50/mile.  Average heart rate (HR) was 157, with a max of 179.  It was in the 80's, and I felt good after the few days rest I gave my legs.  All in all they got 3 days rest, though I did upper body cross training yesterday.
