Wow!  I've got a long way to go!  It was rough.  I stopped the treadmill at least 4x.  I'm starting from scratch again after a 3 month holiday hiatus. 

I started on the treadmill and my toes were already frozen, tingling INSIDE my house.  The temperatures were so cold this week that we had 3 snow days.  I also tried a new shoe (Karhu Fast by Fulcrum) that I bought for $22 at Sierra Trading Post on my drive back to MI.  I think the shoe might be a little big and maybe that added to my toes going numb.  I switched back to one of my tried and true shoes after warming my toes by the fire.  

 

10 warm-up  setting 6.0 @ 10 min/mile

10 tempo.  I gradually worked up to 7.8 @ 7:41 min/mile

5 minute recovery. 6.0 @ 10 min/mile

15 tempo.  Again ran most of this around 8:30 pace and then worked up to 7:41 for the last 5 min.

10 minute recovery.  6.0 @ 10 min/mile

This workout was about the same pace average, time, and distance as yesterday, however, the strategy was different.

miles 1-2: started at 10min and worked up to 9:30min. easy

miles 3-4: increased the speed until 8:13min (marathon pace)

mile 5-6: hold pace a little longer and then cool down.  I finished early at 5.36 and didn't do the entire cool down.  I get restless on the treadmill sometimes.

Overall felt better than yesterday.

Aubree and I began running about 7:40am.  The roads were a sheet of ICE!  We pretty much, walked, skated, and tip-toed for two miles before we made it back to my house.  20minute mile pace.  It wasn't really running but I'm counting it anyway for the following reasons.  I woke up early, was wearing all my clothes including reflective lights, I was outside, and I was moving.  Also, my heart rate was high from the adrenalin from nearly falling every step! 

I tried doing the rest of the long run on the treadmill.  10min mile pace on the treadmill seemed like a sprint after our ice-skate running.  I only made it 4 miles before my whole family melted down and needed me!  I guess I'll try 2 longs next week.  Again - Better N' Nuttin!
