Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
6.00	0.00	3.00	1.00	10.00

AM: No morning run. Instead, major leak in our basement. Now I'm $5,000 poorer.

PM: I wanted to meet Kramer at the Olympic Oval for a workout (trying to avoid the rain/snow/sleet/wind) and I planned to get in a few miles there but when we arrived we were told that the track was closed for some reason. It pays to call and check. So we went next door to the county rec center and did a treadmill workout. Kramer did ten miles with the middle five in about 28:30. You basically can't ever go wrong with a five mile tempo.

I did 4 X 1 mile in 5:56, 5:56, 5:52, 5:42.

I just noticed Curly, the new mileage board king. Why would a person be on two internet running log sites when all you do on one site is link to the other?

Ugh, that sucks. Sorry Rob.

Sorry to hear about the home repair problem. Glad we were there last weekend ;). Hope you can get it fixed up without too much hassle.

That's true Jeff. It would have been embarrassing had it happened last weekend. It will be a few days before we have water in the basement.

i clicked on those links and they didn't lead to pictures of sparkly skechers or treadmill-on-wheels-gifs, it was just running data. so...no interest.

sorry about the leak. and the closed track. but good TM workout.

A decent run can make even the worst day a lot better Allie.

As I was posting a comment to my blog I saw you had commented here, and hoped it was a weird sort of April Fool's joke.

I was wondering the same thing about Mr. Curly.

What the heck! It didn't get to my room did it?

Did you get it taken care of? I know some different ways to handle those kind of repairs.
