Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
11.00	1.00	12.00

READ BELOW FOR CERTAIN AND CHECK IT OUT!!! I suppose I coud count some more miles as fast considering 2.5 miles were run at 4 % incline. Who knows. There really was no plan but to run 12 miles with some speed. Then out of the blue I decided to run some hills since I haven't been. Soo......I warmed up starting at 2% incline and 8:57 pace. I upped the pace every quarter mile 8:57, 8:49, 8:41, 8:34, 8:27, 8:20, 8:13, 8:06, 8:00, 7:53, 7:47, 7:41, 7:35, 7:30, 7:24, 7:19to 6:58 pace then 2.5 miles 4 % incline-- three 1/4 miles (laps on the virtual TM track) at 7:41, four 1/4 miles at 7:35, two 1/4 miles at 7:30, one 1/4 mile at 7:24. Just about every part of my clothing is soaked with sweat!! It is rather warm in the rec center. Could feel that from the very beginning of my warm up. ALSO I forgot my water bottle. So after the warmup and hillage and a one mile cooldown at 7:41 AP (1%) I got off the mill and guzzled some water at the fountain. Needed to pee but the bathroom was locked. Did a few leg stretches before hopping back on the mill. Was going to do two miles of 6:27 but just did one. I was done and with still another 70 mile week after this one I need to tone it down. I will have FOUR 70 mile weeks in a row. A record for me I believe. I will have to check my blog. The ending on the mill went like this--- 1/2 mile at 7:53is pace 1% incline then 1 x 6:27 mile, followed by 3 miles easier ( I was getting hungry and thirsty!!) -- 7:41, 7:30, and 7:24 with some kick work at the end to just a 6:27 pace. AP for all 12 miles = 7:35. BTW BLOGGERS (women) check out activeheadbands.com a runner friend in my ward, well her sister, makes very secure darling head bands. And she guarantees the lowest price!!! They are SWEEETTTT!! check her out on Facebook as well and say you like her and she will send you a coupon for percentage off. She is VERY talented!!!

Rachel, you should announce it on your blog since more people read yours. They are so adorable and affordable. Did you see the coupon for 30 to 40 percent off on the site? They even have sport ones so my girls are going to be decked out for soccer : D.

Julie you must have met Frances? Isn't she the sweetest. I have like 20 Active Bands and they are seriously so awesome. I am so glad you met her. She is so incredibly nice.

Great workout! And no I am not pacing Painters anymore. I was going to but Walter filled up all the pacers to quick. I am glad you are running it though you will totally rock it. Your training right now is so incredibly impressive!

Rachelle, ALL IN THE NAME OF 3000 miles!!! I will probably be wiped out come Jan. 21st. But hopefully not. Just trying to beat my time from last year which was nothing spectacular-- 1:30:38-- 10 days after I took a pretty intense spill on the TM-- I walked on to it while it was moving at 8:57 pace!! hurt like nothing else!!!
