I was excited when I rolled out of bed at 5:15 this morning.  I was planning on attempting my first speed workout in over 6 months.  To keep myself from injury I'm doing all my current running on the TM where I have a bit more cousion and I can keep myself from running too fast.  After setting the TM at my standard 1% incline I warmed up with 2 miles at 8:30 then ran 3 one mile repeats with half mile rest intervals.  I did the repeats at 6:15 which definitely made me work, but did not kill me.  Then I cooled down with 1 easy mile at 8:30.  While I can still feel a twinge in my foot I had to significant discomfort.  I will pay close attention to how it feels the rest of the day and tomorrow though.

Total run 7 miles

SpeedStar 2 Miles: 7.00

you don't seem to have lost any fitness with all this no running. XTraining is definitely your friend. Great workout!

Tim, I have not lost as much as I thought I would with about 6 months off. I am definitely not running 6 sets if 6 min miles with 1 minute rest intervals like I was, but give me a couple months and hopefully I'll be back there.
