Easy 5 miles at 8:57 pace. I tried Carolyn's hill sprints, although I only did 5 because I felt like a doofus. They were hard to do on a treadmill, and here's why: I had to accelerate into the sprints and I wasn't quite sure when I reached full speed, so I probably sprinted more than the 8-10 seconds I was supposed to. And then I jumped off the treadmill so that the belt could wind down, and every time I did it I got weird looks. Then I had to walk/lightly jog a cooldown and begin again. I will try them again next easy run I do--in the meantime I'll try to think of an easier way to do them.
