9 on the treadmill @ 8:00 pace.  At least the Texans were on TV though.  I almost fell off the TM trying to help Andre Johnson make a catch on an underthrown ball.

43F.  8:07 AP.  Ran in the evening so I could run outside (Danielle is back).  It's been a harrowing 3 days but me and the girls survived with mommy gone.

35F, 7:41 AP.  I retired my oldest pair of Kinvaras at 700 miles and ran in a new pair of shoes today, the Kinvara 2's.  Did y'all even know they updated the Kinvara?  Well, they did, and I have them.  Not just everyone can have the latest and greatest update, though.  Just keep that in mind before you get too jealous.

Anyway, am I the only one who doesn't like running in a new pair of shoes?  It feels like I don't have feet.

42F. 7:41 AP. Early, sluggish start. Been struggling through a headcold all week - seems to be hanging around for awhile.

The one thing I want to keep from Pfitz is the MLR, but not at the expense of workouts this time. This week it was doable.

32F, NW 20-35 mph.  8:36 AP.  Fortunately all the 50 mph gusts were last night.  Unfortunately, they blew part of our steel-and-concrete-reinforced fence down, not to mention the neighbor's huge trampoline somehow ended up in our backyard.

Gotta pick a 5k-10k pace interval workout tomorrow.  I'm even tossing around the idea of just running a 5k time trial on the track.  5k's count as 5k pace, right?  As usual, I'll probably decide as I'm jogging down to the high school...

23F.  I decided to do a 5k, broken down into decreasing amounts, keeping the laps at 5k pace or better.  So I did 2400-1200-800-400-200.  1 lap easy between each.  Results were:

8:56

4:26

2:54

1:20

33.7

Adds up to 18:09, but obviously I got some good rest in there.  My goal was to keep it under 90 seconds/lap avg, so misson accomplished there.  I liked the workout.  Each subsequent interval was like a treat because it was shorter than the last.  A good reality check too -- I am nowhere near being able to run a sub-18 5k.
