Forfeited longer sleep for a chick flick I had never seen-- Letters from Juliet.  Woke to take all my girls to piano.  First Courtney at 7am then Brooke and Amber hang out for an hour trading lesson spots at 7:30am.  Went to gym after dropping off Brooke and Amber at school  later at 9:20.  Troy ran 5 miles, waited for me impatiently so I told him to go and I would run home for my last 3 miles.  Plan was to run 12.  Forgot that I like to hill work on Thursday so I remembered as I began my warmup.  This was again impromtu.  I should follow some plan for Boston but I just don't have one.  This is what I ran--

2 %  8:27 pace  .75 miles

4 %  8:27/8:13   .75 miles (the   /    means I ran 8:27 at .50 and .25 miles at 8:13)

2 %  8:13   .50 

5%  8:13/8:06   .75    (same as written above, repeated at every incline below as well)

2%  8:06   .50

6%  8:06/8:00   .75

2%  8:00   .50

6%  8:00/7:53   .75

2%  7:53   .50

5.5%   7:53/7:47   .75

2%  7:47 and down to 7:03 pace.     .50     STOPPED treadmill to reset it.  Darn thing shuts off at 60 minutes.  Got to this point in 55:55 for 7 miles with 1430 feet vertical gain  :D.   I didn't want to be in the middle of a climb and have it stop.  Stretched very briefly.

5%   7:41/7:35   .75    Troy came up to me wondering how much longer I had to twelve miles.  Told him to just go home and I would run home. 

2%    7:35   .50

4.5%  7:35/6:58  .75     DONE.  Sweat city.    Pretty much crystalized on my run home in shorts.  At least I premeditated this might happen and brought my garmin, headband and sweatshirt.  I wrapped my leggings around my waist.  I didn't think I needed them but I did.  My legs had frozen  "dew" on them.  It took me until I got home for them to thaw out. 

3 miles home at 7:53 AP.   It felt easy.  Wore my Altras for the entire run.  Loving them.

You totally put my little hill workout to shame. Nice job! I can't believe you ran home all sweaty I bet it was freezing!!

Where are you doing your LR this weekend?

I work Saturday so I am running long tomorrow. What are you running?

From Rachelle on Fri, Jan 13, 2012 at 12:59:27 from 159.212.71.199

I hope your LR is going good. I'm not sure what I'm doing. My right shin is killing me so I may be stuck running alone since I don't want to force anyone to run at my turtle pace. :)
