GA run + 10 x 10 sec. hill sprints.

6:55 am, 60-65° F, 50% humidity, wind 8 SSE, sunny.

I didn't run last Saturday because it was my daughter's birthday and I thought I should be home in the morning and give her a birthday breakfast instead of being out running all morning like I usually am. It's not looking good for me to run this coming Saturday either, because she is getting baptized that morning. Also, we'll have a bunch of family here visiting for the occasion.

I also haven't checked blogs all weekend. I apologize. I'll try to check everyone's blogs today, but I've got a busy day at work.

In any case, I failed to get up sufficiently early once again today. I went out for the run anyway.

My recent training plan didn't include any hill sprints and I think I would have been better off doing them, so I decided to get back into them. I was a little sluggish on them today. I did them at the end of my run and walked home when I was finished.

My biggest problem this morning was thigh chafing. I've got to get some compression shorts, or something, I guess.

AP: 9:12. Splits: 9:24, 9:02, 9:03, 8:57, 9:09, 8:44, 8:52, 0.94 @ 8:56. The rest of the distance was the hill sprints. I'm not going to report the pace on the hill sprints.

Medium-long run.

5:55 am, 62-67° F, 55% humidity, wind 5 S, not a cloud in the sky.

Hilly route to Lucent and back. I think I might have done something to my left quad. Or maybe it's the hip.

AP: 9:08. Splits: 9:52, 9:12, 9:08, 9:13, 9:11, 9:14, 9:02, 9:01, 8:48, 8:45, 8:59, 9:16.

Easy easy run.

6:25 am, 70° F, 46% humidity, wind 5 SSE.

I was really hurting after Tuesday's run. It turned out that it was my left hip and left knee. I felt a little something in the knee last week, but I had been ignoring it. I rested on Wednesday and Thursday if you can call working overtime resting. I decided giving running a try this morning. I don't want to get into a habit of not running. I felt okay, if a little stiff. There's still some weakness in the knee and hip, but I was okay today.

AP: 9:31. Splits: 10:02, 9:29, 9:23, 9:22, 9:22.
