Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
10.00	5.00	15.00

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.

Your splits were still impressive.

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!

From Smooth on Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 23:42:50 from 174.23.201.210
