Running Around

treadmill again.  slower pace overall. stopped a lot to talk on the phone.  ran a record 64:00 minutes on the treadmill.  I jimmy rigged the boxes and hooked up the computer so I could get caught up in Downton Abbey.  My head kind of hurts bopping up and trying to watch TV.  Not sure I will do that again.  I can't wait for warmer weather!  Today was 3 degrees.

I'm trying to follow the Boston workouts as best I can on the treadmill.

Type: Training/Speed   Distance: 6.0   Overall Pace: 8:54 min/mile  Incline: 1

Warm Up: 15 min.  started 12min pace then slowly increased to 9:30min

Tempo: 15 min.  started at 8:30 pace the slowly increased to 7:00min pace.

Recovery 5 min.  walked for a minute then slowly increased to 10min pace.

Tempo: 10 min.  started at 8:30pace then slowly increased to 7:00min pace.

Cool Down: ?  min.  I walked a little and the ran about 10min pace until the treadmill hit the 6 mile mark.

I realized with treadmill running I can't just sprint and hold the pace.  I think I would fly off the treadmill.  The slow increases and decreases in pace have helped me adjust to treadmill running and take some of the boredom out of it.  I'm relistening to General Conference again.  

treadmill AGAIN.  i wanted to run 12 but admittidly was happy when my daughter begged for my help at mile 9.  Downton Abbey got me through the first 52 minutes.  The minutes dragged after than and my eyes started to get blurry.

Pace average: 9:05  This was a faster than usual pace for a long run but I was on the treadmill and just want to get off it as fast as possible!
