Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
9.00	0.00	4.00	0.00	13.00

AM: Treadmill - 8.75 miles in a bit over 62 minutes. Did 6 x 4 minutes with 2 minute recovery jogs. Strides at the top of the hour, then core. Bowl of cereal and stretching.

A little faster than last week, a little longer, and shorter recovery. Not much to write coach about but I'll take small increments for now.

PM: Treadmill - 4.25 @ gentleman jogger pace. Did a set of weights (presses).

Why so many treadmill runs? Oh, I don't know. It does force me to get my core, stretching, and weights in, which is part of the idea.

Saucony A5 Miles: 8.75	Mizuno Musha Miles: 4.25

You don't get slushed by plow trucks on the treadmill.

Whatever those are...

Yeah, but I have nowhere to blow snot rockets!

Plow trucks vary by state. This one was a true plow truck. Some times the road crews in Indiana would plow with pickups . . . I'm not expert but I'm from Maine and I think you are doing this wrong!

You haven't been falling much!

I think most everyone I know here has access to at least one plow truck (or skid steer). :)

I thought of that the other day, Matt! I slid on some snow the other day but caught myself.
