Easy run + 8 x 8 sec. hill sprints

6:50 am, 66-70°F, 55% humidity, winds calm, sunny.

Carly lives a few doors down and across the street from me and so it is very convenient for us to run together except she has never wanted to get up early enough to run with me. But combining the fact that I'm not running so early these days and she's now got a baby who wakes her up early, she's willing to run with me on a week day. We ran 4 miles together this morning and then I headed over to the hill sprint hill and did my hill sprints by myself.

I ran through one small set of sprinklers. I think that Carly thought I was crazy. She didn't go through the sprinklers.

I don't know if I really ran so much faster on the 2nd hill sprint than on the others or if it's just the Garmin not being terrifically accurate for such a short segment.

AP on easy run: 9:55. Splits: 10:13, 9:46, 9:48, 9;55, 0.07 @ 9:31.
Pace on hill sprints: 7:23, 5:49, 7:11, 7:08, 7:07, 6:54, 7:55, 6:43.

Nice work as always on those sprints Carolyn. I think you DID hit that pace!

Always inspiring others to run...yup that's you!

Nice job on a good start to another week. So funny that running through sprinklers would seem crazy to some. If Carly sticks with the running awhile, she'll be looking for sprinklers too.

Nice sprints. Glad you found another running buddy...and some sprinklers.

Go with the speed, Garmins NEVER lie!!!

Love the sprinklers, I dance in them, shower in them, and even gulp from them!

Great start to your running week! Esp when you've got a running buddy and the sprinkler gods smile on you.

No post since Monday...this isn't like you lately Carolyn. Where are you?
