Ran 1/2 trails and half on side walks.  The average was around a 8:50/mi since the trails were narrow and had a lot of roots and fallen trees to jump over.  Toward the end, about the last 1.5mi we (running with my boyfriend) picked it up to a 7:30/mi pace.

Wore the Vibram Five Fingers for my 2.2mi warmup before speed work.  I do like the shoes, but my lower legs were sore the next day.  They are suppose to strengthen the feet, provide better balance, and cause a more forward stance strike instead of a heel strike.  I will wear them for a couple of miles twice a week until I get use to them. 

Track Practice-

0.5mi straights and turns

4x800m, 4x400m, 4x200m with 1min rest in between each

800's(3:18, 3:20, 3:16, 3:17), 400's(1:36,1:38,1:37,1:33), 200's(48, 46,46,41)

0.4mi cool down

Wore Adizero Adidas shoes for track work.

Ran with the Trigators and went a little faster than usual.  My pace usually levels out to just under 8:00/mi, but I ended up at closer to a 7:45/mi pace.  I felt pretty good over all energy wise, it was a little cold and my calves were a little sore, but a good run.

Ran on a treadmill for the second time in 4 years.  I'm an outside runner especially since I live in florida where the roads don't ice over, but it was raining all day and I'm trying to get a couple miles at a time in with my Vibrams untill I get use to them.  I did do a couple of incline repeats of 10 degree incline for 1min every 5 minutes.

I held an 8:45/mi pace for the whole distance.  I didn't want to push myself at all since I have a half marathon to race next weekend.  I didn't look at my watch too much I just went with a pace that felt good and easy.
