A.M. I met the East High team at Liberty Park. My goal was to run 4 x 1 mile with half a mile recovery. However, my stomach problems from last night were still present. I ended up stopping at the bathroom twice in the first lap of my warm-up. I decided to just run another lap, and see if my stomach felt better in the evening. So, just 3 miles this morning.
P.M. Back to the treadmill. I decided to do a 4 mile tempo instead of repeats. I warmed up two miles, and then increased the speed to 10mph. I increased .1 every 5 minutes. After about 15 minutes, the treadmill began to smoke, and smell really bad. I switched treadmills to finish up 10 minutes to make my total tempo 25 minutes long. I didn't really pay attention to see how far I really ran, but it was over 4 miles. I cooled down to make the total mileage 7 for the run. I'd like to say I was running really fast, but I'm not sure the smoking treadmill was going as quickly as it said it was. Still, my stomach felt better, so I count the workout as a success.
