THIS ENTRY IS THURSDAYS. I WROTE WEDNRSDAY ON MY PHONE BUT MUST HABE NOT POSTED IT. SO WILL WRITE IT ON THURSDAYS. Saucony fives. 18 hours later (from last run in the wind in rain at 7:33ap)....I keep with the schedule-- which btw I forgot until I was nearly done with my run yesterday--- for 8 x 800 with 1/4 mile jog in between.  Ran three mile warmup starting at 8:41 pace and increasing pace every half mile for three miles by 0.1 mph or so.  1% incline.  Then quick potty/stretch break.  Then right into 800s....no stopping of TM no resting on sides nothing.  Felt strong.  Especially considering my lack of sleep and work out yesterday and freezing to death in a soccer game called early for  snow and WIND and pelting HAIL.  Yup.  Ref called the game at 0-0 with 20 minutes left.  The weather took a turn without much notice...it was cloudy and rainy when I ran earlier but it had cleared to no rain and just clouds around the mountains...then ominously they snuck up on us from behind the parents seated at the sidelines.  Wow!!  It took me all night to warm up.  Brrr.   Anyway back to my 800s.  Ran 9.7 mph x 2 (6:10), 9.8mph x 2 (6:07), 9.9 mph x 2 (6:03), and 10 mph  (6:00) for last two.  I would run them at zero incline then the last 0.03 I would up the incline to 1% to make me work harder cause I am strange that way.  I was working hard enough right?  Then would keep the incline at 1% and run my recovery at 8:12 pace (7.3mph).  Finished with a very slow cooldown ap of 9:07 : D.   Felt nice to do that.  Jane and Kim were there to witness my run.  In fact they arrived after I had completed two or three so it was encouraging to me and helped me stay focused.  Talking in between for a few of them but then told them I had to focus and just get done.  Of course I then chatted their ears off while they ran hills instead of their usual spin class.   6 miles in 40:36 for the SW.
