Missed Saturday's long run.  I was planning to do 8-10, but I left it for the afternoon and I was home watching Josie all day so it didn't happen.  I did shovel two driveways full of heavy snow, though and the break helped my hamstring pull.

2 x .5 mile repeats on the treadmill. With 3 miles of warm-up/cool-down and some sub 9mm filler to get to 6.25.  It is hard to know how fast to go on the treadmill.  Experience has taught me that I can set it faster than I would run on my own and let it pull me along.  Experience has also taught me that that is a good way to get new injuries.  I did my first 1/2 mile at 7.5 (8mm).  It was too easy.  I did my second one at 7.8.  It was about right, but I think I could do 8.  I was significantly faster on my 1/4 mile splits last week.

Now that the snow has fallen, it might be time to get out my mph/mpm conversion charts since I'll probably be spending more time on the treadmill.

You are getting fast too! Nice job "dealing" with the treadmill. I hope there was something good to watch and I'm glad you're still alive and didn't die of boredom.

Treadmill is much easier if you break it up into segments--like doing Yasso's. The other way to deal with it is to watch Arrested Development via Netflix on my iPad.
