2x15mt@ HMP-10K pace with 1 mt rest. 2 up/ 2 down. I was set to go to bed at 9:30 last night when my bro in law and his boyfriend came over to chat us up. My 5 yr old hadn't fallen asleep yet so he came down to join the fun and then the thunderstorm started. So, 10:45 bedtime and I failed to get up when my alarm called me at 5:30. Yesterday's 90 degree run wore me out, so I stayed inside for a treadmill run. If you read my blog, you know that my treadmill kills at sub 5:30 pace and I am thus limited in what I can do and for how long. I can't adjust to a faster pace to get closer to an outdoor equivalent. I did the entire workout at a 1 incline. The first 15 minutes were at 5:46 for 7.5 mts and then 5:39 for 7.5 minutes. Great. Then a drink and one minute to get back to pace. At mile 5.61 at right over 35 minutes, it died at a 5:33 pace. I resumed after a minute and kept it at 5:42. Then down from 5:39-5:30 for the last 7.5 minutes. 2.06 cool down for an even 9.5. 61 minutes total. Hot in there, so very sweaty but HR checks were low 150s. I am counting these as marathon pace because it was a tough effort.
