It was windy and cold when I woke up this morning, so I wimped out and went to the health club for a treadmill tempo run. I warmed up two miles, and then ran a 5 mile tempo run starting at 10.0 mph, and increasing .1 every five minutes. I ran this workout about three weeks ago, and could only make four miles, and it was miserable. I actually felt strong through the whole run, and thought about adding one more mile, but decided not to get too crazy! (I'm not always sure the treadmills are calibrated correctly, so maybe mine was slow. But, the effort felt right.) I ran 29:30 for five miles. Then, I cooled down for two more miles. Total time for nine miles was 57:10.

Nice! Looks like your fitness is BACK! Are you going to jump on the track for a 10K this spring? Or stick to road racing?

My fitness is starting to return. I will be sticking to road racing, hopefully running a marathon in the fall. I really just want to stay healthy long enough to do that!

You really put in some hard workouts - I need to start training more like you!

Have you thought about what marathon you might run in the fall? I'm thinking about running my first marathon in the fall as well.

I'm not sure which marathon I will run in the fall. I want to hit a trials qualifier, but mostly I want to stay healthy. I would love to do some runs with you, Andrea. You are in great shape, and run some good mileage.
