LM warmup, 7.13 miles in 55:23, 7:46/mi, HR 154, w/ 12 x 12-15 sec Hill Sprints, 1.5 mile walk/jog (1 mi jogging) w/ dog & stretching.

Another rainy day.  Tired today and feeling the mileage this week.  Tomorrow's should be another hard workout but I'm not sure if I'll be up for that with the increasing mileage yet, so I'll play it by ear.  Discovered that my "12 second" hill sprints were closer to 14 or 15, so I changed finish markers for the last few.  Been that way since moving to the new hill, I guess.  No wonder they're kicking my arse.

Yeah 15 seconds of hill sprints is a killer, good move shortening them up a bit. I've been debating whether I should start adding the sprints to my routine in addition to the long hill repeats I've been doing once a week. But with things going so well I'm chicken to change things up much. Maybe in 2011 I'll give it a try.

They have really helped me stay injury free the last year or so. My left hip/groin injury never completely went away (didn't want an "exploratory" surgery) and I'm convinced that these are helping me maintain the muscular strength to avoid lapsing into bad form that would re-aggravate the injury.
