I was off to a late start this morning, partly waiting on hubby to come home and partly dragging my feet.

I don't know why I opted to do this one on a treadmill, but I changed my mind on my way to the gym and then changed it back when I realized I didn't have my watch AND the high school kids might be out on the track so I'd have to weave around them.  I saw them on yesterday when I ran past and I'm sure they're out again today because it's nice today (low 50s, but no wind).

So another glorious treadmill day (getting my money's worth, I guess...I haven't been there in a few weeks).

I planned on doing 5 800s and 2 400s at interval pace with a jogging recovery in between.  Somehow I lost count and accidentally missed one of the 800s.  I blame it on the fact that the first treadmill I was on shut down on me.  Twice.  So I switched treadmills part way through.  Next time I do some speed work I will bring paper so I don't miscount again.

My interval pace was 7:30 (so 3:45 for 800 and 1:53 for 400).  The last 800 was hard (and it wasn't even supposed to be the last one!) but the 400s were easy.

It sounds like you got a good workout in despite the difficulties. It's hard to keep count of repeats sometimes.
