Getting more accustomed to the treadmill at work. Kept the pace more manageable this time. Two miles at 8 min/mi, two at 7:45 min/mi, two at 7:30 min/mi and finished the last averaging 6:50 min/mi.
Came down with a head cold so I took it easy on the treadmill today. Five miles in about 38 minutes. On top of being sick the last few weeks, I am having kidney pains so I think I may have a stone forming. This should be fun.
Not a lot of miles but they were definitely quality miles. Met Tara at Davis Blvd. for an early morning run. Clean air and temps were not bad (other than frozen hands because of misplaced gloves). There was definitely a disconnect between the effort we were putting in and the pace that was registering on our watches. Overall average pace was 8:00/mile and it felt hard. Not a good sign for my 1:45 pacing duty next Saturday. The slight upgrades killed me and the slight downgrades felt great. Wonder if the treadmill running is making the variable elevations of a real run more difficult to handle.
