Today I set out to do some hill sprints.  Since I was running outside in freezing 45 degree weather, I warmed up for a few miles before the first hill sprint.  I ran my hill loop 5 times and then did one extra hill on my way to the cool down run for a total of 16 hills sprinted.

Approximately 2 miles of hill sprints

10 miles easy

Total run 12 miles  AP 8:18

I think I might feel this run in my legs tomorrow.

I woke up this morning and the themometer read 53 degrees!  I had to check the other one we have and sure enough it also said 53 degees!  What a great morning for a great run!

Today I had a 16 mile fun run planned.  On my 16 milers I like to run what I call my fun pace.  It's the pace where I don't feel like I'm holding back like I do on longer runs and I don't feel like I'm pushing hard like I do on shorter runs.  I do it on a seriously rolling hill course, so my mile splits fluctuate a lot.  After the 15th mile I decided to let my legs go and run a comfortably hard pace.  I did the last mile in 6:31 and still felt pretty good, but was glad to be done.  And guess what.  I had a great, fun time running this morning.

Total run 16 miles, 1:57:26  AP 7:20

30 minutes jump rope
