So NOT feeling the love.  Bloated and well bloated.    Okay and slightly stiff in the legs from standing all day yesterday working mom/baby at Utah Valley.  Busy.  Tired.  Watched another movie last night with hubby and Courtney.  Miss Congenialtiy with Sandra Bullock.  Pretty funny.  Hadn't seen it in a while and my daughter had never seen it.  We had a few good laughs.  Went to bed at almost 11pm so didn't feel like running early.  Outdoors was calling my name but I just couldn't get moving.  When Troy came downstairs at 9am ready to go to the gym I decided I would just go with him.  We didn't leave until 9:45am.  As usual to spruce up the monotony of 10 miles on the mill I thought of doing some hills in the same fashion I have been doing SW lately--- .25 miles at a time.   Here is what I came up with:

2%  0.75 miles  8:57 pace

4%  0.25   8:49 pace

2.5% 0.50 8:49

4.5%  0.25   8:41

2.5%    0.50   8:41

5%  0.25   8:34

2.5%  0.5   8:34

5.5%  0.25  8:27

2.5%  0.50  8:27

6%   0.25  8:20

2.5%  0.50  8:20

6.5%  0.25  8:13

2.5%  0.50  8:13

7%  0.25   8:06

2.5%  0.50   8:06

7%   0.25  8:00

2.5%  0.50  8:00

6.5%  0.25   7:53

2.5%  0.50  7:53

6%  0.25  7:47

2.5%  0.50  7:47

5.5%  0.25  7:41

2.5%  0.50  7:41

5%   0.25   7:35

2.5%  0.50  7:35

4.5%  0.25  7:30

2%  0.17   7:00  Troy waiting for me so done.  Went over 10 miles because the mill stopped at 60 minutes (I forgot that it would do that) and I was in the middle of a lap (7.17 miles).  I didn't want to have to think about mileage too hard so ran three more miles to still look at the laps evenly.  This work out was easy pace but sweaty on the uphills for sure!!  I was working hard at times but nothing drastic.  Totally doable!!  AP for 10.17 about 8:09pace. Forgot to look at the time before hitting the stop button twice.   ON a non running note:  TODAY is my BABY'S NINTH BIRTHDAY!!!  Wow they grow up way too fast!!!!  She has a good friend over.  We will take her to Cold Stone and watch a movie she picks out and we got her a car for her littlest Pet Shop Pets to drive.  It is electric.  : D.    Lastly  23+  miles to go until 3,000 miles!!!

So are you going to do those last 23 all at once? :-)

Impressive that you upped your miles by ~600 from last year. Thats really awesome.

Dang Julie, do you bring a pencil and paper to the gym or is your memory that good?! I'm lucky if I can divide the miles I want by 2 so I know when to turn around and go home. Looks like you got a great hill workout though, you must have climbed a virtual mountain. Great run.

Happy b'day to your daughter. Hard to believe one day my girls will be 9!

Jake-- A GOOD THING for sure!! got me out of my rut!! : D And no just planning 17 miles tomorrow and 8 miles New Year's Eve at 430am before work--- same old same old. I should be at 3001!!!

Joe-- I don't take a pencil. I love math and patterns-- so if I remember the pattern then I am good. If I vary, then I am lost.
