I was up really early again, so went to the gym to run.  I did a progression run again starting at 7.5 mph, and ramping up every half mile.  I got impatient at the end and started increasing the pace more frequently, finishing at 9.7 mph for the last minute.  Average pace was 7:17 per mile.  It feels good to start easy and build in.  I may have ended a little too hard . . . I will know if I feel it later this morning after the endorphins wear off.

I'm seventeen weeks tomorrow. Yeah. I get bored on the treadmill, so I start progressively getting faster. That's why I try to incorporate some runs where time is irrelevant. But, it's good to know I have a little turnover left in my legs.

Kassi, I'm trying to run consistently. I've been inspired by your post-baby comeback! We'll see how long I make it, because it's definitely getting harder.
