So, what's a girl to do when her silly baby wakes up at 4 for a cuddle? Why, go running really early, of course! It was dumping snow, and I didn't feel like taking my life in my own hands by running in it. I went to the gym for a treadmill workout. It was a good one. I warmed up 2 miles and then ran 10 x 2 minutes on/ off. I eased into them, starting at 6:15 pace, and upping the tempo .1 mph every interval. I finished at 10.5 mph or 5:42 pace. It's true. The treadmill told me so. It got pretty tough for the last 3. My body hasn't moved that quickly in quite some time. My recovery was at 8mph. I cooled down until I hit an hour total running time.
