Nice-N-Easy run during lunch on the TM. After work I made it finally to a spin and yoga class.

Treadmill run - First mile was very easy, then every half mile I increase 0.1 mph. By mile 7 I was running 8.2 mph @ 1% incline. The last mile was 8:15 pace. I don't know why the TM feels so much harder to run at higher paces than running self propelled on regular surfaces.

2 mile TM run warm-up

I completed 7 rounds. I did really good on the DU... I even did a complete set of 24 reps unbroken... that was exciting!!

PM - Track

1 mile warm-up, 4x100 with 400 recovry, 3x200 (38,38,39s) with 200 recovery, 4x800 (3:07,3:09, 3:06, 3:07) with 400 recovery, 1 mile at 6:37. The recoveries were very slow jogging.

Had a costco hotdog right after track, and then made it to yoga for some much needed stretching (very painful stretching and holds).
