Easy run + 5 x 8 sec. hill sprints. 7:41, am, 56° F, 88% humidity, winds 3 N, partly cloudy, muggy. I met up with Michelle for a short run this morning. We don't usually run together on weekdays, but our schedules are more open today because of the holiday. She ran further than I did because it is further from her house to the meeting point than it is from my house. Also, she continued on while I stopped and did the hill sprints. We took a very small detour during the run to check the reservation list at a park where we're planning to have a bar-b-que this afternoon. It looks like it's not reserved. At one point, I had been planning to run the Bolder Boulder with Lindsay today, but then Lindsay got pregnant and decided not to do it. I didn't want to do it bad enough to haul myself up to Boulder and run it by myself, so I didn't.
It was very muggy this morning. That is unusual around here. Since I had a short run and I have extra time today, I had to take advantage of the situation and do the shred today after my run. I did level 2, but I stuck with Anita on any squats or lunges. My left quad is feeling better, but it's not quite 100% and I didn't want to hurt it. I was fairly slow on the 3 miles, but then tried to run the hill sprints faster than I have been doing lately. AP: 10:10. Splits: 10:25, 9:54, 9:45. Pace on hill sprints: 6:33, 5:35, 6:50, 6:08, 6:29.
