Tempo run on the treadmill with 36 minutes at 8.8 mph. Heart rate actually decline about 3/4 of the way through the tempo portion. Never got above 162/3. Felt very comfortable.

Small local 5K at Look Park. Rainy and about 40 degrees. Warmed up with a couple of miles in the puddles and a few strides in the parking lot. Started with a hard first mile around 5:50 on the Garmin. Some very slippery spots on the leftover ice. Second mile around 6:18 and the final full mile around 6:30. Slow final tenth probably due to uphill finish. Very satisfied with the overall time, but disappointed with the final mile. However, I didn't reduce training at all before this race and I completed a full tempo run on the Thursday before the race.

Mile repeats on the treadmill. Twelve miles total at overall average pace of 7:20. Six x one mile with four at 6:15 and last two at 6:10. 400m recoveries. Felt reasonably hard. Need to fuel better though.

Long run on the treadmill to start the week. Started after two without much to eat during the morning, so I felt a bit underfueled for the final six miles. Overall pace around 8:14.

Bit of a disaster of a workout. I had to wait to get on the treadmill, so I "warmed up" a bit on the stationary bike. Then ran 2.5 warm up on the mill. Tried to run 800 hill intervals at HMP, but it just wasn't working. Room was too hot and stuffy, treadmill calibration is off or my legs just didn't have it. After a couple attempts I changed to try the incline tempo run. Ended up running 6 x .75 at MP + 36 seconds and three percent incline. Tough after the failed attempts at a higher incline and pace. Hope I didn't screw up the legs too badly. Tomorrow is SRD anyway.

Fabulous start to the week with beautiful weather and a great long run. Did nine miles outdoors up to the bike path and back home and finished with eight on the treadmill as I transition back to the pavement. Overall pace of 8:02 felt very solid.

GA miles on the treadmill with the final six miles at 7.6 mph or 7:53. Felt a bit of a twinge in the right quad, but it seems better after finishing.

GA on the treadmill. I'm going to avoid the cambered roads for a while longer. Hips felt a little tight. Ran the final mile at new MP (8.3 mph).

Back outside for a GA run up to the bike path and back. Finished with the final mile at 7:08. Cold wind and legs tightened up some.
