Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
4.50	4.70	9.20

3 mile warmup starting at 8:41 and increasing to 7:30. 0 incline. Then with Jane did 1 mile at 2 % incline at 6:58 pace (8.6mph). One minute standing rest between all sets. 3% incline for 0.75 miles at 6:58 pace. 4% incline for 0.5 miles at 6:58 pace. 5% incline for 1/4 mile at 6:58 pace. Then one mile 0 percent at 6:58 ap. Then super incline work out which I couldn't complete accurately. I mean lets get real this is my forth speed work since St George marathon. One was impromptu down AF canyon four weeks ago. The other was just last Thursday and was minute ons/offs progressive style and two weeks before that min on/offs. Anyway the rest of the work out called "sweat for sweets" starts at 7% incline x 1 minute at easier pace than earlier. I followed Jane and did 7:30 (8mph). We jump off after the minute for one minute standing rest then jump back on with treadmill still running after increasing incline another 1 percent. Doing this all the way to 15% incline. I am not gonna lie first four I was fine. Then holy holly!! no way. I had no sugar left in me and my legs were mush. Not tight, just too light and weak. NO DRIVE LEFT. So I did 30 seconds for the last ones from 11 percent to 15 percent bringing pace down to 8:00 (7.5mph) and down to 8:13 (7.3mph) for last one. I nearly fainted. I tried one swig of Kim's very watered down green tea at the start of these and honestly the after taste was nauseating not to mention I was working hard and I couldn't get rid of the taste mentally. NEXT time I hope to have some of my own drink. A Gatorade to help me thru. It was hard!! I was soaked with sweat. The idea for this workout. Finished up with a fast mile at 6:45 pace (started at 6:58 and ended at 6:10 for last 30 seconds) and 0 percent and cooldown for 1/2 mile at 8:30 pace at 1 percent incline. Went in the sauna for 10 minutes. So cold outside (2 degrees when I was driving to gym)at 7:30am.
