PM - 7x1/2 miles on treadmill at 1% and 2:30. Started out with 1 mile warmup at 7:30 and a very negative attitude. I wasn't able to get up in the morning. And practice started today, so now the afternoons are shot that way. But I knew I had to get it in and hoped my attitude would change once I got going. It didn't... at first. Got into 800's at 5:00 minute pace and felt pretty good about them. Equal time recovery jog in between at 8:49 pace, just long enough to get a few good breathes in and then at it again. Noticed that I really need to stay on top of my feet to make the treadmill as real as possible. Meaning: if I sit back, I heel strike and the treadmill does the work; if I stay up on my toes and keep my body centered correctly, I can hit my foot quickly and pull my foot through which makes each step as realistic as possible on the treadmill. Cool-down at 7:30 for 1 mile. (Cumulus)
