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. 1 - 8:34 2 - 8:00 3 - 7:30 4 - 7:30 5 - 8:00 6 - 8:34 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 Ave Pace 9:23 including warmup/ cool down
