Easy run + 10 x 8 sec. hill sprints. Average pace: 9:49.

Weather: 65°F, 50% humidity, light SW wind.

I think my legs are finally coming back. Maybe they'll be here for me on Saturday. Splits this morning were 10:14, 9:57, 9:43, 9:54, 9:58, 9:26, 9:15, 8:56. Paces on the hill sprints were 8:24, 7:22, 6:32, 6:36, 6:38, 6:52, 6:48, 7:14, 7:00 6:56. On that third from the last one, there was a couple walking a dog who were walking up the hill where I was doing the hill sprints. They had seen me doing the hill sprints and had made a comment to me as they were going up the hill and I was walking down after my 7th one. If they would have kept walking they would have been far enough up that I wouldn't have passed them on my 8th hill sprint. However, they stopped just short of where my hill sprints were ending to talking to another woman with a dog who was walking down the hill. I had to run through that crowd at the end of my 8th hill sprint. They were just starting to move from that spot when I got to that point on my 9th hill sprint.

I felt mildly sick to my stomach and very lethargic all day yesterday. It's no wonder I wasn't able to catch that runner yesterday morning. I went to bed after dinner last night and slept for an hour or so, then got up for a couple of hours and then went to bed again. I counted it all as night time sleep instead of a nap and a night. I'm feeling better today, but not 100%. I actually felt mostly okay during my run. A couple of my kids were complaining of stomach aches yesterday too. It must have been something we ate or were exposed to on the cruise or on an airplane last week.

Nice run. What's with people stopping in our path when they know we're coming?

My wife had symptoms similar to yours for a few days after her cruise. Being on the ocean is like being on a different planet!

Look at those 6's! Great run...I'm sure you will be feeling back to normal by tomorrow!

I still don't know how you can be so fast going up a steep, steep hill, even for just 10 seconds! You are amazing.
