had to work today, my normal day off. i did get to go by the gym and run 5 miles on the treadmill tonight. i was a little slow, i tried to run the first mile at 10:30min/mile, then miles 2-4 at a 9 min/mile pace and the last mile at what ever recovery pace i needed. i was using a different style of treadmill than i normally use and i think it made a difference. last week i ran my monday run of 6 miles at a slow start, then 9:15min/mile for miles 2-5 and the last mile slow. i figured i was going to be running one less mile so i could speed it up a little. however, i was only able to run miles 2 and 3 at a 9:06 pace and had to slow mile 4 down to 9:30 and mile 5 to even slower. my total time was 49:24, a much slower pace than the last 4 runs. i really think this treadmill was a little harder to run on for some reason.


once again, no thought of the day, i'm tired.
