20 minutes weights + 8 miles on TM, including 2 x 3 miles @ 6min pace.  One last week of intensive class time for doctorate program and things will settle a bit for a couple of months.  Just trying to sneak in enough running to not completely lose everything.

10 minutes with weights and then 8 miles on the TM:  3 mile warm-up and then 5 miles in 30 minutes.  With mileage down, my weight has gone up a bit (182 lbs), yet so has my speed.

Did 10-minutes on weights and then ran 8 miles on the TM:  2 warm-up, 4 @ mp (6:58, 6:58, 6:53, 6:53) and then 2-mile cooldown.  Slowly working my way back up in mileage.  Hope to get through this cold stuff and outdoors within the next week or two.
