Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
13.25	1.50	1.75	0.00	16.50

PM: Treadmill - 16.5 miles in 2 hours.

I didn't feel like running in circles at 9:00 pace for two hours in the snow so I settled on something almost as mindless. I turned 31 today. Still young I guess but already plenty cynical and world-weary.

I ended up going very easy to start but finished decently. The last 10 minutes were definitely faster than aerobic threshold. About half marathon effort.

First hour

20 minutes each @ 7, 7.5, 8

Second hour

20 minutes each @ 8.5, 9

10 minutes each @ 9.5, 10

Happy birthday. Nice long run on the dreaded treadmill. Have a great day.

Happy 31st. That's still fairly young (I'm technically the same age but I just keep saying I'm 30). Sorry that you had to TM on your bday, though! Make up for it w/ a 31.5 miler on your half birthday in July.

Happy B-Day Jason.

Don't worry - from what I've seen of retirement homes and assisted living facilities, you have plenty of room to grow on the jaded spectrum. ;)

Thanks, guys.

I find that commercial funny every time I see it, Deron.
