Easy run + 8 x 10 sec. hill sprints. Average pace: 9:38. Shred level 1. 8:30 am, 60° F, 33% humidity, wind 6 SSW. I had to pay this morning for running last Saturday's workout too fast. I started out really slowly, but I did get going a little better after a couple of miles. Splits for the 6 mile easy run were 10:08, 9:41, 9:33, 9:15, 9:19, 8:56. I did okay on the hill sprints. Paces were 6:36, 6:28, 6:59, 6:58, 6:23, 6:53, 6:52, 5:33. I thought about doing one of the hour-long Jillian Michaels videos that I have instead of the 20-minte shred since I'm not in a hurry today. But I'm still somewhat under the weather, so I decided not to push myself too hard. They're doing a little bit of construction along the route I usually run. In one section, they're replacing a fence, and so they've got men and machinery on the sidewalk and the shoulder of the road and have one lane closed. In another section, they're replacing the gutter, so it's the same kind of blockage. If I were running early in the morning like I would if I were working, it would not be much of an issue because the machinery would be put away and the workmen wouldn't be there. But running later in the morning like I'm doing, I have to run around the machinery and past all the workmen. Oh well.
