Just an easy 5 miles.  This week will be sorta light because I am starting training in earnest and my training program has me running long on Sundays (and I didn't run yesterday).  It's good that this week will be lighter with running because I am definitely stressed about school and classes.  This weekend is my last Friday/Saturday class for a month and a half.  Thank God.

So I've been away from other people's blogs.  I will be catching up later this week!

2 miles warm up, 4 x 1 mile at 8:00 pace with a 1/2 mile recovery after each (but I made a boo boo--should've done 1/4 mile recovery).  Then 6 x 200 at 7:03 pace (or as close to a 200 as I could manage on a treadmill that only kept mileage to the tenth) with 100 jog in between.  Really, what I did was set my treadmill for the fast pace and keep it for about 55 seconds, and then I dropped the speed until the treadmill marked the next tenth.  Then about a mile cool down.  I had to reset the treadmill a couple because it shuts down after an hour and I couldn't figure out after an hour how much more time I needed.  Then when it shut down the 3rd time, I didn't want to reset it just so I could come up with an even 10.

I have been wearing my glasses for the last few days because I threw away my last pair of contacts and didn't realize that I didn't have another pair.  I don't have time to get to the eye doctor right now.  But running in glasses is not my cup of tea.  I had to keep taking them off because they were all sweaty.

An easy 5.2.  It got up to 40 today, which is exciting.  But you know what?  40 degrees is still cold :)

It reached 45 degrees today.  I contemplated shorts.  But my legs were worried about their exposure.  And I'm glad I didn't wear them because by the time I got going it was getting dark and it was hovering around 30.

2 miles warmup.  Three miles at 1/2 marathon pace (7:54, 7:52, 7:45).  Almost a 1/2 mile over to the track for 2 800s.  I probably should have planned to end the first 5 miles a little closer.

2 800s at roughly 7:00 pace.  I was shooting for 7:20-7:30 pace, but it was too dark to see the watch and the pace felt good.

Then 6 x 100 strides.  As I was hitting my sprint, which I was supposed to sustain for 5 seconds (and which most of the time was a little above or a little below 5 min pace), I was thinking that there are people who can actually sustain that pace for a loooooong time.  Crazy.

Then I ran home.

I did run in my glasses today.  They stayed on a little better because my hat was keeping them on.

I ran 6 miles at about 9 min pace and then did strides during the last .6.
