Easy run + 2 x 8-sec. hill sprints. I was still a little sore yesterday from Saturday's run, but not as bad as I was the previous Sunday, so I decided to get out and run today and see how I felt. I felt fine, but I was slow. I never got to the pace that I've been getting too lately. But I guess that's okay. I finished up the run with a couple of hill sprints. I often encounter middle schoolers walking to school on my hill sprint hill when I'm doing hill sprints. This is a common occurrence because I try to finish my run at about the time my middle schooler leaves for school. This morning as I did my hill sprints, the middle schooler walking down the hill was my own son. He gave me kind of a funny look and didn't say anything. I'll have to ask him when he gets home if my running up and down the hill in my sweaty running clothes is embarrassing to him. I didn't say anything to him when he walked past me because I was busy running up the hill as fast as I could. In other news, I finished The Pillars of the Earth today. I liked it except for the very end. The whole Prior Philip hanging out with Thomas Becket seemed too implausible to me. AP: 10:13. Splits: 10:36, 10:05, 10:18, 10:03, 10:06, 0.20 @ 9:40.
Pace on hill sprints: 7:10, 6:50.
