Easy run + 2 x 8-sec. hill sprints.

6:00 am, 30-32° F, 72% humidity, wind 2 SSE.

I ran with Lindsay today which I haven't done for a long time. Talking with her made the time seem to go by fast, even though we were running pretty slowly. I was surprised when we were in front of her house and it was time for her to stop. But then I had to run a little under a mile more to get to my hill sprint hill, do my hill sprints, and then walk the rest of the way home.

I was in a bit of a hurry to get home because I had to drive Thing 3 to school. It is normally against my policy to drive to the middle school around school start or end time because there is only one way in and out and it gets terribly backed up. Also, it is much more direct to walk to the middle school from our house (the middle school is just across the green belt from my hill sprint hill) than to drive. However, I had to go against my policy today so that my son could talk part of his drum set to school. He and his little band are auditioning for the talent show after school today. So I guess I'll have to pick up him and his drums this afternoon, but it will probably be enough after school gets out that the traffic will be gone.
