4m of Repeats on the Gym Treadmill

4m @ 8.84 pace w/ avg HR of 153

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No splits on this one but it was 1 mile WU (9.5), then 4 quarter mile repeats at 7.5 pace w/ 9 pace in between. Finished up with a progressively slower 1m Cooldown at a final pace of 9.50

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I absolutely hate the treadmill on anything more than 3 miles, but it was 94 outside with 80% humidity, so I thought I'd run inside to avoid that. I had been doing hill work on my weekday "speed" runs, but since I was inside I opted for intervals instead.

It was pretty easy and I'll likely bump up the interval speed next time to something like 7.25 instead of 7.50.

Took a little break there...

...not from running, just from the blog. I guess I got a little busy, but I'm back now.

I'm likely not going to go back and update each of the running days, but here's a general update:

- Bought a Garmin 405 and handed the Timex S&D down to Jen

- Jen's been continuing the long runs each saturday and we've increased by .25m each saturday, with this coming weekend our first 7 miler together.

- Heat has been difficult with us having to do the runs earlier and earlier in the morning in order to have any sort of decent pace.

- Had a particularly good run this past Sunday, despite 80+ temps, the fact I was hungover from our anniversary concert weekend in Charlotte, and the fact I was pushing the boy in the jogging stroller. Just felt really good and strong and finished up the run in mid 8 pace considering it was in my hilly neighborhood.
