Hill workout on the treadmill. (Not random) hills at 7:00 pace. Level 7. I felt pretty good. Maybe I should go out and run another 50 miler tomorrow. Not.

Ran 4.5 mile tempo run on the treadmill in 31 minutes. It feels great to run for that short of a time. I think I'm going to do some interval workout each week for awhile and see if I can get faster.

I'm calling this an "easy hill" workout. 5 miles on the treadmill in 35:30. Level 2 hills.

I ran my first real speed workout in probably six months. That's sad that it's been so long.  But I've been a wimp and run mostly indoors, and you can't really get a speed workout on the treadmill, though you can get good tempo workouts.

Anyway, it was a really enjoyable workout. I charted out a loop around my neighborhood where I don't have to worry about traffic, and it's exactly a 1/2 mile. It has a fairly decent uphill and downhill to it, but it's not grueling.

My times were 3:10, 3:00, 3:00, 2:54. I was really pleased to get below 3:00. Can't wait till I run on the track and see how my speed has improved and can keep improving.

I thought today was my day to finally complete the hill workout on the treadmill that I have been trying to do for about 6 months. It's 7 minutes pace, random hills, at Level 9 for 4.5 miles. I made it to 3.5 miles but then had to take a 2.5 minute break. Then I ran another 0.5 mile on Level 9 and bumped it down to Level 1 for the last 0.5 mile. I plan to keep doing this workout each week and get stronger on the hills.

I ran 6 miles tonight on the treadmill in 41:44. At first I didn't feel great and wanted to jog, but then I got into it and used it as a means to get rid of tons of frustration from my schoolwork.

Treadmill hill (not random) workout. 1 mile warmup. 5 miles hills at 7:00 pace, level 9. Stopped at 4.1 miles to rest, then decreased the incline for the rest. But I was still happy with it. These workouts really get my heart rate up. I need to run a few more miles each week.

I think this was a tempo workout of some sort. 6.5 miles total on the treadmill in about 45 minutes.

Hill workout on the treadmill. Level 5 random hills at 7:00 pace. Increased the level toward the end because I was feeling good. Nice to get a good run in two days in a row.

Ran along the trail behind my development with my daughter in the stroller. It was tough to push her up the hill, so it was a good workout even though it was short.
