okay this run sucked!!  MAIN reason (besides a 50 percent improved ankle still nagging)--  I WAS QUITE hungry this morning.  I think I forgot to each much yesterday.  I tried to drink a lot more water to make up for it but that only added to the nausea and weakness.   Oh well.  I am so funny if  I get it in my mind to do sw I just have to do it.  I had it in my mind to run 3 x 2 miles at 6:31 pace with 1/2 mile at recovery pace (8:27) in between but after the first one I was so that much more hungry that I couldn't even focus.  SOOOOO  I thought back to Rachelle's little SW session she did a few days back and thought "okay I can handle that better than what I had planned).  So I ran 6:31 x 2, 1/2 mile at roughly 8:27 then I ran one a 6:22, followed by 1/2 mile at 8:27 pace (I know recovery could be shorter but IT IS SUPER HOT IN THE GYM-- always on Tuesday cause it is cold all weekend so they jack up the heat on Monday and by Tuesday it is boiling).   I then did a 800 at 6:15 pace for 1 1/2 laps and 6:11 for the last 1/2 lap so about 3:05.   1/2 mile AGAIN yup super not into this workout in starvation mode.  8:27 pace. Finished the SW with the 400 in 90 to 95 seconds-- 9.8 to 10.2 mph.  Ran 1.25 mile cooldown at 8:20 AP.    1 % incline for entire run.  Went to pain Dr.  I have three injections scheduled for Dec. 26th.  Two in my degenerating neck and one in my lower back.   Fun times!!  Just getting to old to run fast!!   but not going to stop yet ; D.  I was super nauseated and done with this workout after the first two miles.   Really wish I never read Rachelle's blog this past week.   I would have quit at four miles!!

Darn that inspiring Rachelle :)

Nice job getting it done Julie! NOT easy work on a TM.

Have I ever mentioned to you how much I cheat on the treadmill? Yup always .5 or 0% when I do any type of speed. Sometimes I run on this secret treadmill that is slanted downhill!

Awesome workout!

So depressing I can't even run at your recovery rate! So sad.

Mind over matter Katie I'll just have to run with you a few days will get you going
