First, if you all could go into facebook and vote for my husband's run down shoes so he can win some Altras that would be great. Just go to "Altra Running" and say you " like" his worn out shoes. They are listed under my facebook name "Julie Fothergill Crossley". Thanks everyone. Votes need to be in by Tues. at 9am. Troy's shoes are the ultimate run down shoes so he should really win but some guy has 23 votes already and Troy only has 3. So please vote!! Thanks!!

After yesterday's reflection and fast--- My legs were ready to get in some speed today. Not really following any set schedule so who knows what will come of Boston. With all my family there and visiting for a week beforehand, I am not banking on a subthree there. Just a PR. : D. Today I decided to do 3 x 1 mile repeats at desired 5K pace. First I warmed up for 3 miles in 25:27 (8:29 AP, varying speeds starting at 8:57) at 1% incline. Wearing my Altras of course. Just loving these shoes!!! Then I pottied and then stretched briefly and hopped at 1% for 1/2 mile at 8:00 pace. The Turned incline to 0.5% and ran 1 x 6:18 then 1/2 mile 8:00 (1%) repeated three times with the third lap of last mile at 6:15 pace and the last lap getting down to 5:42 pace!!! I felt awesome. The whole run (despite the wiggling TM) felt very controlled, almost effortless : D. Added on another mile (was only going to do 8 miles) and ran that at 7:00 AP pace or less. I actually got to a 6:18 again at the finish just for fun. Total time for last 6 miles = 41:36 (6:56 AP). AT home did 60 pushups. One front plank and both sides 60/30/30. Getting hungry so stopped working out.

Awesome workout Julie! I do not think I have ever gone under 6 minute pace on a treadmill. Scary!

Off to vote for your hubby. I hope he wins.

Rachelle, the best part about this run was that this 60+ year old woman came over to me (luckily during one of my recovery jogs) and said "I can totally feel your beat on the treadmill (she was on the elliptical in front of me), like I want to join in and run with you!!" Isn't that cool? I was rocking out to some great music!! I told her to just wait a few seconds and I had another great song coming on from Journey!! I could sing it for you if you want too, I told her, kidding of course. : D
