Tonight I ran a hill workout on the treadmill. 7:00 pace, level 9, random hills, 4.5 miles. The farthest I have gotten in the past without having to take a break was 3 miles. This time I made it 4 miles. So I almost made it! Just had to stop one time. But it really challenged me. I was feeling light headed for quite awhile afterward. Hopefully I didn't kill any of my already scarce brain cells. After running a race last week and then taking it easy on Saturday, I'm ready for a new training cycle. I'll start ramping up the mileage gradually. I'm hoping to do either a spring marathon or maybe something longer. Have to see. Oh yeah, I also decided I'm going to work toward the 2000 mile mark for this year. I'm lacking 196 miles. So I will try to run that many in December.
