6 good miles on the treadmill. It's so nice to have the treadmill to push me. Best run I've had in many months.

Too tired and too late, so I just ran 1 mile.

5.5 miles in about 41 minutes. Pushed the pace but not full effort.

Tried doing intervals on the treadmill, but I don't really like the way it does intervals. I'm going to have to try the user-defined workouts and see how that is.

5.5 miles in 43 minutes.

Once again, I had more important things to do, so I only ran a mile to keep up the habit.

I had a good workout tonight. I figured out how to program the user-defined workouts on my treadmill, and I really liked how much control it gave me. I configured it to go hard for 100 seconds and then easy (7.0 mph) for 100 seconds. The hard intervals started at 8.0 mph and went up to 10.5 mph. I had to slow it down on about 3 of the intervals and only ran those in 8.0 or 8.5 mph. But on the last one I surprised myself and was able to run at 10.5 mph. It was a good workout for challenging myself mentally.

I ended up running 5.25 miles in 40 minutes. Actually, 5.34 miles, but I always round down when running on the treadmill. 

Burt, the reason I don't out and do "real"intervals is because I am a foul weather wimp. You should know that by now. :)

Oh, and I got slightly more miles this week than last. So I'm happy with that. But at this rate I'll be lucky to run 500 miles this year. Hopefully I can do more next week. I'm enjoying it when I do run, so that's a good sign.

Started out the week pretty well. Ran a tempo run. 6.25 miles in 45:45. I had a hard time when my heart rate got high (not sure how high it was). That seems to be my biggest weakness right now with my fitness. Hopefully that will come as I get more miles.

6.25 miles may not sound like that much, but it increases my yearly miles by almost 6%. So that's not bad.

I did the interval workout on my treadmill. Two or three weeks ago, I wasn't able to do the entire thing at the programmed speeds, but today I was.

I decided to try doing the interval workout on my treadmill for the second day in a row, and I was able to. I must be getting some of my conditioning back. I want to see how many miles I can get this week. My goal is at least 20.

I am proud of myself. I did my workout in the morning because I knew the day would be busy. I ran enough to reach my goal of 20 miles for the week. That included 3 solid workouts.

And I signed up for St. George Marathon today. Hopefully I get in!
