Loved running in College won one conference championship in the indoor 3k  and was 2nd in XC conference (probably my best race) and finished 50th at Mountain regionals in XC. Like most competitive runners never felt like I maxed out but have lots of great memories and made a lot of great friends.

Up at 5 not tired not sure why?! Decided to try a newer staple workout the treadmill tempo. 2 mile warm up nice and easy ~15:45 Then started at 7 min pace and increased the speed by 1/10th every half mile eventually getting down to sub 6 min pace for the last half mile. Goal was to stay relaxed for as long as possible listening to some Enya. Felt great through 5 didn't really start to work hard until about 6:18 pace at about 8 miles. Legs feeling recovered. I would love to get to where I can start at 6 min pace and work down to 5 min pace making a 10 mile tempo but not until late winter. Girls slept through the noise which is a plus.

The main victory of this workout is the girls sleeping through it... We'll get you running nasty tempos again.... even with the incline up! haha Good work Doc!
