Tonight I ran 7 miles - 2 mile warm up, 3x1600@7:15, and cooldown. Due to rainy weather (which I hope will be gone for my long run Sunday), I ran on my mother-in-law's treadmill. Her treadmill's a little difficult to use for a speed workout. The speed options don't tell you the pace, they just give you a "level" like 5.4 or something. I knew that 6.0 was a 10 min/mile pace but I had never ran a 7:15 on a treadmill before so I just sort of guessed. I picked 7.5 which might have been a slower pace but I couldn't have run any faster and I couldn't make it the whole mile. I had to slow down after .7 of a mile. After jogging for a half mile I tried it at 7.6 for .8 of a mile, jogged again, and then ran at 7.7 for .8 mile again. Not what I was hoping but it was definetly a workout. The good thing about running on her treadmill was that I got to watch cable. We're "frugal" at our household and don't have cable. So I enjoyed an hour of MTV's Real World/Road Rules Challenge and VH1's top 40 hotties of the 90s. Oh yeah!
Yesterday - Strength trained while watching America's Next Top Model. Love it!
