Easy run on the treadmill. Ran the last mile at marathon pace. Felt good. No soreness or pain.

Ran indoors on treadmill again today. Air quality still poor. It's taking some getting used to, to run on a treadmill. Start out kind of slow and pick it up as I go. Yesterday, I ran for 45:12. Today for 43:24.

Ran indoors on the treadmill again today because of snow, wind and slick roads. Started out at a little quicker pace and then kicked it up a little for the last mile and a half. Finished in 42:00. I'm looking forward to the chance to run outside again.

Speedwork on the treadmill. After a one mile warm-up, I ran a quarter mile at 7:30, then a quarter at 8:35, then two more quarters at 7:30, followed by rest quarters at 8:35 and then a quarter that started at 7:30 and sped up to 6:40 about half way through. Finished with a half mile cool-down.

Treadmill today. Received about an inch of snow overnight. Four easy miles after yesterday's intervals. Last mile started at 8:00 pace and dropped to 7:30 by the end. No injuries or lingering soreness at this point. Hoping to do 14 tomorrow afternoon.

Long run from AFFC to the bench in Alpine and back. Suffering a bit of abdominal stress on the way out which forced a couple of pit stops. Overall pace was just under nine. It felt nice to be outside again. Felt a little tightness above my right knee for a mile or two and little occasional soreness there later on in the day.  Mileage was 37.28 for the week. I need to bump it up a bit next week, but not so much that I get injured.
