Treadmill @ 8:13 pace.  Don't think I'll be increasing the speed anymore for awhile.

Got to run outside today and the plan was for an easy 4 but I got carried away and ended up accelerating miles 1-3.  Splits were:

8:38.. 10-15 mph downwind

8:22.. downwind and downhill

7:50.. uphill and into the wind

8:48.. recovery mile

Ended up with the usual 8-and-a-half-minute pace.  I'll have to work on my "going easy pace" this weekend during my planned 6-miler...

TM @ 8:13 pace

Really hard.  Going to come up with new TM strategy or try to run outside more.

A new week, a new personal distance record.  Did the first 3 in 25:25 and the last 3 in 24:22 with the last 2 miles exactly 8 minutes each (although the last 3 miles had a tailwind).  8:18 pace overall.  Felt good the whole way.

Weekly mileage: 17.3
