I did speedwork on the treadmill during my lunch break. I did a 1.5 mile warmup, I did 6x800s @ 5k pace with 3 minute recoveries in between. And then I did a 15 minute cool down. Treadmill runs bore me, but I like that I can control the pace.

Four easy miles on the treadmill at lunch. Not much more than that to report.

I got up EARLY this morning (4:15) and met Tracy H. She was doing her long run (18 miles) since she won't be there Saturday, and I decided to get up early and join her. We ran from my house up to the VA hospital (about 5 miles) and then back. We took a more direct route back, so I ended up doing just under 9 miles. The first 5 miles were all gradually up hill, and Tracy always runs so fast. I'm glad I got up and did it, but I'm pooped this morning. Maybe I'll go home and take a nap at lunch time.
