Missed the BBK's again this week.  My husband is still out of town and my kids had stuff going on this morning, so no run for me.  I finally was able to get down on my treadmill about 7:30 tonight and ran while I watched the Miss America pagent with my girls.  They were very entertained - I was not.   This was also my first attempt at any speedwork since last September.   I warmed up for 3 miles and then did  1/2 mile repeats for 6 miles and then cooled down.  I ended up on 1/2 mile, off 1/2 mile.  The recovery was too long but I wanted to be conservative because this is my first speedwork  in forever and I was on a treadmill and my mechanics change.

 I was tired at the end and just wanted to be done but made myself cool down.  I remember why I hate the treadmill - too hard to run and make my kids mind ( they seem to think all rules and logic are out the window) and too many interuptions.  My mom called, my brother called....glad it is over. 

 25 min yoga afterwards

:( Dreadmill...even worse at home I would imagine. At least you got a workout in. Fun that you watched Miss America with your girls, I bet they loved it.

Speed work? What is that? I hate getting back into the groove of speed too.
