I heeded Teena's advice and slowed down today.

1 hour TM mostly at 2% incline, 7.5 miles

First 5 miles at 8:00

Mile 6 at 6:00

1.75 miles at 8:00

I was trying to be good and run slow like Teena reminded me, but I figured one fast mile wouldn't hurt and it is so much fun to run fast, so I just went for it and it felt good and wasn't even too hard.

TM at 7.5mph (8:00 pace) x 1 hour

First mile at 0% incline then increased the incline 1% every mile through six miles.  Ran the last 1.5 miles at 0%

This was a tough run, but without as much impact as running fast.

1 hour TM 1% incline at 8:00 pace, except for mile 3 which I dropped the incline to 0% and ran it in 5:39, which was easier than expected. I'll try a little faster next week.

Total run 7.8 miles

I didn't have much time this morning so I picked up the pace and ran shorter than normal.

TM 0.5% incline, 6:40 pace, 5 miles, 33:20

I can't believe that was my average pace for the 2010 Boston marathon.  I am a long ways from being in that kind of shape right now.

TM: Ran miles 1,2,4,6,8 at 8:00 pace and miles 3, 5, 7 at 6:00 pace.

Wasn't sure how it would go but was pleasantly surprised that the 3rd mile at 6:00 wasn't too bad.
