Didn't sleep well.  Darn cause I had a plan to torture myself with a 15 miler (5 mile warmup, 5 mile TM speed, 5 mile cooldown).    So I still did with the sad sleep.  Got up at 540am.  Geared up.  Ran to the PG rec center (3 miles @ 8:47) then, peeled off my additional layers and warmed up two miles on the TM at 8:34 then 8:00 pace (1 % grade).  Yay not sweltering here and NOT crowded.  Felt wasted already.  Oh well, paid the $3 so got to get going.  Progressive tempo run at 5% grade.  Not liking a grade at all to start with.  Wishing I ate something or had some GU or gatorade.  This is going to be hard.  No stopping in between here goes:  6:44, 6:40, 6:35, 6:31,(totally parched sprinted to the water fountain, took 25 seconds) then finished with a 6:27 (last .3 at 6:11- 6:20).  Not a pretty sight.  Occasionally I had to hold on to the rail and let my legs go, my heart was at its max.  Yikes.  I am out of shape or need some sleep or something.  Then 2 mile cooldown on the TM at 8:20 to 8:34 pace (1% grade).  That seemed like it took forever to run two.   Ran home 3 miles at a slightly quicker pace then the way there but boy my sweat was a freezing.  I think it was colder outside than Monday.  Probably 20 degrees?  Brrrrrr!!!  I think I  can only do this workout every two weeks.  Totally not for me.  Hope it gets easier.  I think I will try mile repeats so I can have a break in between.  Legs were okay, heart was the issue.  Probably fatigue.  Made it to my 15 mile goal today.

Speed at 5% grade Julie? I would not have survived that is BRUTAL! Nice workout!

From Cal on Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 16:09:03 from 66.133.117.3

Wow, really tough workout. Nice running. Great effort!

(And top of the mileage board, at least for the moment...)

Ooops, I meant to put a point before that 5 %. Like .......5%. You think I I am that awesome, think again. Like that would take some MIGHTY SUPER POWERS I certainly do NOT have.

From Cal on Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 18:49:38 from 66.133.117.3

Your splits were still impressive.

From JulieC on Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 18:52:22 from 71.35.213.136

Cal-- Thanks for the heads up....who does Brian think he is taking me from my TOP position? Doesn't look like I will EVER stay ahead of him, he is going for 80 every week. Feel free to pass me up too. PS I am toning it down the next two days, I work two 12.5 hour NIGHT shifts in a row starting tonite --- Happy Thanksgiving!!

Still totally awesome splits. I was mulling in my head if I could even survive one 6:40 mile on a 5% grade! Have a good thanksgiving!
