Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

This has to be a record for the home treddy, but the more I use it the more I realize this is the way to go to get miles in on my limited time while my daughter is sleeping.  20 minute warm up, 12 x 1 minute on/off with "on" minutes at 5:27 pace, 5 minute jog, 10 minutes at 6:27 pace(which feels like a jog after the 5:27 minutes), cooldown 20 minutes.

Great running this week, lots of quality workouts.

Speechless. 5:27? I struggled with sub6 on the mill. Seriously u r bionic. Yahoo!

Awesome workout April! The great thing about these "I want to die" fast workouts is that they make marathon pace feel easy. :)

Pretty strong running!

Wow, look at your mileage - when I did my single 100-mile week this past spring (which it looks like you're just about on the way to doing), I felt great during it, then very sluggish the next week. Wouldn't expect bionic woman (you) to run into the same issues, but don't be afraid to take some lighter days if you're feeling it next week. Nice going!

Allie--now that I have accepted my ricket treadmill as my friend, I seem to have a higher tolerance for it

Flat--thanks, this may be the most quality week I have ever had, hope this mojo shows up at my next race

Julie--I was a little nervous since this was on my poorly calibrated home mill, had to focus on staying relaxed and not struggling.

Rachelle--I want to reach the next level, so I have decided to face my fear of sub-6 pace head on!

Joe--looks like it will be an 84 mile week, but I am wanting to stay in the 70+ range as long as possible if my body is holding up, so far I feel like a million bucks but I will back off at the first sign of trouble. I feel like I am headed for what you call an "improvement spurt"

I would say you were definitely in an "improvment spurt"! ...WOW running :-)
