5 miles on the treadmill. 34:30. Threw in some fast miles (as fast as 6:00 pace for 0.5 mile), and it felt great. I want to do this often in hopes of making it so 6:00 pace doesn't feel as hard.

Another 5 mile treadmill run. 1st mile in 8:01. 3.5 tempo miles. Threw in 1.5 miles at 6:00 pace. Finished with a 0.5 mile cooldown. Overall time was 33:50. Faster than yesterday. My new goal is to get to where I can run 5 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill.

Three miles in just under 24:00 on the treadmill. Then I did some seated rows and bench presses to try to get my back strengthened and get rid of this back pain.

5 miles on the treadmill. Did 3.5 miles of random hills at level 5 and 7:00 pace. Afterwards I feel rejuvenated rather than worn down. That's nice.

We don't really have the space or the money for a treadmill, but I was looking around at them today. You can get a pretty good one for $700 at CostCo. Someday...

I weighed under 165 for the first time this year. I think the drop was from not drinking enough water last night though. 

I feel like going for a run but instead will work on homework and save my energy for my time trial tomorrow.

Had planned to do a 5-K time trial today because I have been feeling good and wanted to see what I could do. But this morning I didn't feel that good, and I had a busy day, so I just ran on the treadmill and threw in some tempo running. Here are my splits approximately:

8:25 (warmup)

7:45 (still warming up)

7:00

6:40

6:40

6:20

8:20 (cooldown)

So I still got some decent running in there despite not feeling great. The middle 5 miles were in about 34:20.

That makes an entire week of treadmill only runs. But I'm fine with that for now. I guess I got in 25 miles this week, which was perfect.

Also did some seated rows and pull downs to strengthen the back.
