treadmill set between 7.5 &8.0.  Almost like going faster on the treadmill because it gets the run over with earlier.

This was a 16 mile long run that was NOT continuous, but I'm counting it anyway.  First of all it was on a treadmill.  I had to do something to break this up mentally.  It was really 3 mid-distance runs back to back.  It is still too cold for my lungs the breath the air outside.  Sometimes it is even cold on the treadmill in my basement.  Anyway this is what I did:

Started at 6.3 on the treadmill (9:30 pace) for 2 miles.  Then increased to 6.4 for 2 more miles. (4 miles)

Short Break- bathroom, switch, start and fold a load of laundry.  Drank a sip of water

I continued running6.5 for 2 more miles then increased to 6.6 for 2 and then 6.7 for 2 miles.  (6 total) 

 Longer Break- switch, start and fold a load of laundry, pick out David's ski clothes, make omelets (Mark brought soup home.  He's the best!  Mark- love you and thank you!).  Ate soup.  Got everyone out the door.

 I started at 6.8 and then kept increasing speed until I ended at 7.3 (8:13 pace).  The increase in pace was really because I was running out of time because of the 2 breaks.

At least this run was "Better 'N Nuttin!"

was suppose to run 800 or mile repeats.  was invited to a Mitt Romney fundraiser. no time for warm up, breaks in-between, or cool down.  But was going to get my run in even if it meant me going sweaty and smelly.  ran 8.0 on treadmill I think 7:30 pace.

These long runs are not pretty but at least I'm trying.

6 miles on treadmill -> run up and switch laundry.  laundry broken and flooded all over.  ARGH!

1 more mile on treadmill

5 miles outside with Mark and Gunner.  Nice and sunny.  still really cold!

6 more miles by myself.  I finally started to warm up however, the cold really gets to my lungs.

 I'm guessing I averaged 9:30 pace.  

Used the NIKE app for part of the run.  It is definitely doesn't compare to the Garmin, but totally worth the $1.99.  I've tried to figure out how to make my own adjustments with this app.

3x2 miles @8.0 (7:30)  didn't warm up or cool down - just wanted to finish!  I had to jump to the side a couple of times on that last set.
