Easy run plus 3 short hill sprints.

I did the Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred level 2 with 5 lb. weights before my run.

It was warmer this morning than I thought it would be. But for some reason as I headed out the door I had this strange thought that I was kidding myself thinking that I could run 5 miles. Of course that's crazy. I have run that distance and more lots of times. It was just this strange "what in the world am I thinking" irrational thought.

Average pace: 10:40.

I goofed on the first hill sprint and hit the start/stop button instead of the lap button, so I don't have stats for the first hill sprint, but it was probably about the same as the second hill sprint. I pushed it a little harder on the third.

Hill Sprints:

1 - ????

2 - 11.25 sec at 7:27/mi

3 - 10.80 sec at 6:43/mi

Saucony Omni 6: 108.85

Great hill sprints!!! That's funny about your internal dialogue. Unfortunately, I feel that way too often, "What in the world are you doing?!?!" It's good to know I'm not alone. Ha!
