Ran OVER-dressed to the PG rec center the long way from my house.  4 miles @ 7:53 AP.  Last two miles 7:16 and 7:06.   Really feeling great.  Kind of wanted to just run outdoors but told my husband I would meet him at the rec on the mills after he dropped the kids off at school.  I  "warmed up" on the TM for 1/2 mile at 8:00 pace then ran 3 x 2 miles with half mile recovery at 8:00 pace.  All done at 1 % grade except for last 1/2 mile I brought to .5% then 0 percent  the last lap in order to "sprint" into the finish.   Here is the break down:  .5 mile WU @ 8:00;    1 @ 6:56, 1 @ 6:46,  .5 mile @ 8:00;  1 @ 6:51, 1 @ 6:42,  .5 mile @ 8:00;  1 @ 6:51, 1 @ 6:30.   Cooldown 1/2 mile @ 8:00 pace then another real 1/2 mile cooldown at 8:20-8:27 pace back at 1 % grade. So six miles fast.  2.5  miles easy.  Total miles on the TM=  8.5 miles @ 7:07 AP.   This run was really good for me.  I am not good on the TM as I wobble in my form and my feet slip inside my shoes, hence the blister revisit, AGAIN.  I tried my best to avoid a full blown killer one.  So far so good.   Odd info:  after a hard run on the TM when I talk I feel like I am under water--- or that my ears are filled with fluid.  It takes over 20 minutes or more to get back to normal.  It is so hard to talk and feel people hear me as I think I sound muffled.  I suppose my sinuses just start to clog up at high speed.   It doesn't really happen outdoors though.  My ears feel like they need to pop open but they don't.

still wondering how I could even EVER run two 6:22s in a row without dryheaving and passing out. YOU ARE MY TM HEROine!!! Hey I just noticed we ran the same mileage today :D. The weather was so wonderful ( I was tricked however, there was frost and so I bundled up then had to peel it all off before 1 mile). BTW I am taking you and Kim out for breakfast Christmas Eve Day after our 20 miler so plan on ALL YOU CAN EAT french toast at Kneaders. YUM!!!
