Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
11.50	3.50	15.00

Last Fridays workout in the extended version. Got out the door at 10 am and ran to PG rec center (nice and uphill for the first 1.5 miles) at 8:45 avg pace (9:09, 8:49, 8:18) for 3. My first get in the mood warm up. Then got on the TM for another warmup. I have to always warmup starting out on a TM. 1% incline for 3 miles at avg pace of 8:35. I was trying to get in the mood for my speed workout. Moved the incline to level (0). Was tempted to put it in downhill mode as I saw that it could do that by the picture on the TM but overcame that notion. I miss my ol' TM in California. This one here has too many gadgets. I just want pace and MPH please. But eventually I got used to all the numbers it was spitting out at me. Ran 1/2 mile repeats X 5 at 6:35, 6:31, 6:27, 6:22, 6:18 then my last mile at avg of 6:20. The last mile I was losing my focus and wanted it to be done and was tempted to stop early but pushed through it and managed to put the pace at 6:06 for a few seconds. Almost at throwup zone. The guy next to me looked like he was in shock as he walked and then ran, then walked and then ran. I tried not to notice. This mounted to 4.5 miles total as I did 90 seconds rest running at 8:21 pace in between each one. Ran 1.5 miles cooldown on the TM at 8:06 avg pace. Ran home the same 3 mile (8:28, 8:08, 8:06) route at an avg pace of 8:13. Amazing how a little SW on the TM keeps me going easier outside. I didn't allow myself to cooldown much between the changes of running scenery. Sorry long report, huh? Now to vaccum the basement and someday get myself to the running store to actually get some shoes that aren't "ZEROES" by default. Seriously no tread left. Why bother getting zeroes if I made my own zeroes?

Nice job today.

VERY NICE run to the TM for SW and wicked fast 1/2 mile repeats!

How many miles have you got on your "zeroes" shoes?

Nice workout Julie--doing speedwork like that on the treadmill I would be in the barf zone the whole time. Wicked! But it totally makes it feel easy to run outside! Short recoveries, too, you are awesome! What time are you shooting for in your May marathon?

From JulieC on Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 13:33:35 from 65.100.255.195

Do I dare say 3:07? That would be 12+ minutes faster than last year at the same race. That means I got to do some yasso 880s at 6:14 pace X 10 or something right? Then its the 50 miler (if they let me in, 3 weeks later). Eeeks!!

From JulieC on Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 15:35:54 from 65.100.255.195

Smooth- My "zeroes" have all the miles I have run since SGM last October so over 750 miles. I should go back and count. Scary huh?
