Easy run + 6 x 8-sec. hill sprints. 7:05 am, 65-69° F, 30% humidity, winds 5 SW, sunny. I got up just after 6:00 this morning and could have gotten out to run earlier than I did, but when I turned on my watch, I got a low battery warning. Usually when the warning comes as soon as I turn the watch on, the watch is good for only about 5 minutes. So I plugged the watch in to charge it and did some housework for a half hour or so. I had a strange thought while I was folding laundry. I use the shoe tracker on the blog to keep track of the mileage on my shoes, but it might be nice to have a bra tracker. I have some running bras that are good for long runs and others that are old and worn out and that I wear only on short runs, kind of like I do with my shoes. I just did a short loop around my hood, but I saw some things I don't usually see. Here is a short list of things I saw on my run today: - 3 or 4 unpackaged multi-colored condoms on the sidewalk across from the high school
- 3 cars full of people parked in front of the closed gates of a garden center; they must be anticipating a big sale
- the remains of a dead bird (not the most interesting thing, but a list of 3 items is better than a list of 2 items)
I felt kind of sluggish on the run today, especially at the beginning. Maybe it was the heat. It was warmer than I am used to. If I keep running in warmer temperatures, will I get used to it? AP: 10:09. Splits: 10:25, 9:57, 9:25. Pace on hill sprints: 6:28, 6:50, 7:21, 6:07, 6:58, 6:51.
