5 miles a.m

7.5 miles p.m

I had my alarm set at 4:45 a.m and was going to go out and do 9- but at 4:30 I woke up and turned it off and went back to sleep. My wife finally got me to get up just after 6 a.m. and I did a quick 5. Feeling pretty good.

Too hot outside to run so I hit the treadmill. Warmed up for a mile or so and then hit a couple miles at around 6:30 pace then started a "speed play" series.

First a mile at 6 min pace. Then a recovery to a song (so like 3:30 min or something. Then one more at that pace but just a bit shorter. Recovery to a song.

Then just over a half mile at 5:30 pace- one song recovery.

Finished up at about a half mile at 5:00 pace and then a short cool down.

Kind of a fun way to pass the time on the treadmill. Not too hard of a speed workout but still got the legs moving.

That must be a new way to measure recovery- recovery to a song...

I'll have to try that. I'm planning on buying a treadmill for my wife and me. What kind do you have. I've been looking at the Smooth line (lifetime motor warranty). Nice speed work Clyde.
