Out of Clothes

All my outdoor running clothes were in the wash this morning so I ran on the treadmill even though it was a comfortable 40 degrees outside. Hopefully this mild weather will last, but I do live in Minnesota and I know better.

I ran a good effort and felt strong. I did 5 x 4minutes @ 7:40 pace (2minutes rest between)

5 miles 8:15 pace

And A New Year

Happy New Year to myself and anyone else who may stumble upon this post. The last week of '08 ended with some good running. Sunday the 28th I ran with a group from Tri Fitness in White Bear Lake. We ran a comfortable 10 miles, it was the first time in awhile running over 6 miles or so, I felt good and actually finished pretty strong.

This new years week I have been getting in 3-5 miles everyday and finished last night, Sunday with a treadmill exercise called "Sevens". It was a hell of a workout and I will give you the rundown below:

90sec 6% grade at marathon pace
60sec flat recovery jog
60sec 7% grade at marathon pace
2min flat recovery jog
This equals one set
