With the hurricane approaching, the weather forecast was for 30+ MPH wind gusts, so I decided to run on the treadmill at the gym.

I ran 20 miles on the TM (1.5 incline).  Since the treadmills have a max time of 60 minutes at the gym, I took two quick breaks during the run.  I started the run easy with 6 miles at an avg 8:30 pace.  I took a quick break to use the bathroom and fill my water bottle.  I then ran 8 miles at 6:58 pace and took a one minute break to reset the timer on the treadmill and fill my water bottle.  I ran two more miles at 6:58 pace and finished with 4 miles at 8:00 pace.  I was scheduled to run 14 MP miles today.  I could have continued at MP for a few more miles but with the race yesterday and the other MP miles earlier in the week, I decided to shut it down.  Hope this doesn't come back to haunt me on race day.
