Easy run + 6 x 10 sec. hill sprints + level 3 shred. 5:14 am, 24°F, 60% humidity, wind 4 SSE, sliver of a waning crescent moon. I'm in a good mood this morning, even though I had a rough weekend. I know it's somewhat dangerous to run with headphones and I normally don't run with them in the winter because there are just too many things on my head. However, I got the soundtrack to Wicked over the weekend and I also put some hip teenage stuff on my not-pod that I got from my teenage son. So this morning on my run I listened to the entire Wicked soundtrack and then I listened to a few songs by The Ting Tings. It was actually a lot of fun. I hadn't planned to do hill sprints today, but when I was almost at the end of my run and I reached the hill where I normally do my hill sprints, I was having so much fun, I decided to do them. I'm out of practice with them and I kept hitting the stop/start button instead of the lap button on the first two hill sprints, but then I realized what I was doing wrong and remembered how to do it. In other good news, my Colorado friends and I will be coming to Moab to run in the Canyonlands Half Marathon in March! It's going to be such fun! AP: 9:17. Splits: 9:42, 9:28, 9:24, 9:02, 9:19, 8:56, 9:07, 8:56, and .32 @ 8:44. Pace on the 3-6 hill sprints were 6:58, 6:54, 7:14, 7:24.
