6 @ 8:34 avg.  I found the treadmills that don't shut off after 30 minutes so I'm happy about that.  It still sucks trying to get through 6 miles though.  I just get so stuffy and hot.  I'll probably keep it at 6 for a couple weeks, then try 7, and so on...

It's looking like Friday's 10K will be a no-go for me as I'll probably have to be at work before the race even starts.  I think the stars would really have to align for me to get free one morning that happened to have a race, but I'm ok with that.  Base building is what I need now anyway.

Tomorrow, I'll rest as this was my 4th day in a row.  Next comes 5 days in a row, then 6, and I'll be back to running 6 days a week.  Feeling pretty good about my plan and feeling good physically, so I will definitely be entering the lotto for Houston when it opens.

LOL 8:34 pace, given my recent frequent treadmilling I am well aware that is 7mph. In fact I am learning all my treadmill speeds far too well. Good luck with the Houston lotto--next week! Me and my sister are entering together so hopefully we get picked!

Yeah me too on the TM speeds! Danielle and I are going to do the group entry too. I will probably be saying this again at some point but good luck to you too.

Stick a big ole fan right in front of the treadmill, it helps!

Great news about Houston. I'm sure you will be ready, it is a long ways off and you are already back.
