FAIL! I finally succumbed to the treadmill this morning, thus failing in my no-treadmill winter resolution. I was going to do Green mtn. with Jason, but watching the howling wind and snow at 10pm last night, and knowing it would be about 5 degrees outside and plodding through 1-2 foot snow drifts, I decided to turn in my man card this morning and head over to the gym. Oh well...it was a fun goal while it lasted. But I have to admit it was nice running in shorts and a t-shirt and running fast without slipping and sliding. Especially considering the alternative snow slog hiking in 5 degrees. 9 miles - 1:03:30 - 7:03 avg - HR: 150 avg I put it on level 1 incline, did a 2.5 mile warmup, then a mile worth of 4 strides. Then I did a 2 mile interval in 11:30 (5:45 pace) - Then a half mile slow, then 1 mile at 5:45 (170 avg HR). I was considering doing two 2 mile intervals, but I was ready to be done running fast after the 3rd mile. The workout felt good though, my legs are feeling pretty recovered right now.
