Humm, Well that was a tad bit Extreme/Insane/Stupid for a casual Monday morning run, here is the time line of my thought process this morning.

4:00, Ohh!  I don't want to get up, maybe I'll skip the gym today,

4:05, Maybe I'll just do an easy slow run this morning,

4:25, (driving to gym) Maybe I'll try my 10 miles in 1 hour run today.

4:45, (Stretching out on treadmill) Maybe I'll just start out at 6:00/mil pace with no warm up, and try to just keep that pace for 10 miles.

4:55, Humm, I think I can go faster than this

5:30, Hey, I'm on track to beat my 1/2 marathon PR.

5:55, Oh, I think my legs are going to collapse

5:57, Oh, I think I'm going to throwup!

6:00, That was awesome. I beat my 1/2 PR by 1 minute

7:00, Ohh!  What the &#@$ was I thinking.

It's not quite official cause I had to do a treadmill reset at mile 10 and took a quick water break, but I think I could have done it without the break since I actually started up at mile 10 slower than I had left off.  I was feeling pretty sick by the end and really wanted to stop, but I made it through.  I'm sure everyone at the gym thought I was nuts.

Smokin' workout...especially at 4am on Monday morning. I thought I was nuts for a 5 mile tempo!
