3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :)

Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

Charles River Cambridge. My legs still felt heavy but maybe this time it was because of my pace. I felt like I went out the same effort as yesterday. Hopped on the bike for an easy 30 mins @ 91 rpm. No headphones again. I seem to replay songs in my head today it was Disney songs: Zippedeedodah and Aladdin. Not sure what that's about, haha.

15 min w.u 2 sets of (1 mile @10kpace, (3min rec) 8x200 @5kpace w/30 sec rec. (3 min rec after last 200))

1 mi @ 10k were both @ 8.3 mph (7:15 min/mi); first round of 8-200s @ 8.7 mph (6:55 min/mi); 2nd round 1st 200 @ 8.6 mph (7:00 min/mi) last 7 rounds @ 8.5 mph (7:05 min/mi). 9.12 mi total in 1:18:00

Cambridge treadmill @ 1% incline. 30 sec recoveries on the treadmill was hard. I may have pushed the pace a llittle too hard on the 10k pace. The first 1 mile felt fine aerobicly my legs felt a little fatigued towards the end. The 2nd 1 mile was a bit more of an effort and I had to jump off the treadmill for a recovery. I think I also need to rebuild some mental callousness for longer efforts. Perfect opportunity to work on this on Sunday!

OFF or 45-55 mins easy

5.61 mi in 50:32, 9:01 min/mi AP

Chicago lakefront, feeling tired heading out and a little more energized coming back. Although it was still sooo cold, it was a gorgeous morning. I though I had 50mins max, which was the only reason I cut the run short.
