A surprising day (running on the treadmill) — I felt kind of flat going in, but pushed myself pretty hard, chugging through a slow first mile (about 9:25), hit 18 minutes at the second mile and 26:45 for three. I ended up doing four today in 35:40. That gives me 16 miles for the week, beating my goal of 15.
I tried something a bit different, some interval training — increasing my speed and then slowing several times — to help build my kick.
