| Okay, so today called for SW 3 x 1600. I awoke after the usual make up sleep night feeling still wiped out. But dragged my tushy to my closet and got dressed to run indoors on the TM. Looking outside there was NO WAY I could face the wind and overcast again. JUST NO WAY!! I thought I will just get it over as quick as possible on the TM, maybe get in 10 miles. As I was about to reconsider where I ran (PG rec or maybe Kim would let me run at her house) I reached for the phone to call Kim and low and behold the phone began to ring. 8:08 am on Spring Break. Who would be calling? I saw who it was and immediately picked it up. It was Melanie. She immediately announced that she just ran 20 miles on the TM. 20 miles!!! We had just talked last night on the phone how we both needed to run 20 today to detoxify all the junk we put in our bodies over Easter weekend. (I had 3 cupcakes with an inch of yellow frosting on them at work Saturday night. They had bunny rings on them so I told myself it was for a good cause, my three daughters for their baskets.) This wasn't good, that Melanie announced this. I certainly was going for the 10 miler with a little SW. I was dragging as it was and really didn't even think three miles at 6:20 was even possible at all. Soooooooo...I got in my car not knowing what to think of Melanie's call. It got me thinking....maybe if I start out real easy I could convince my body to wake up and do a 20 on the TM. Basically that is what I did. Progressive run to a 7:30 pace finishing up at a quicker pace, forcefully. The first 10 miles were at 2 % incline and they went like this: 8:57, 8:41, 8:27- 8:34 (avg 8:30), 8:13- 8:20 (avg 8:16), 8:00, 7:47, 7:41, 7:35, 7:30, 7:30. Can I let go of this incline already? I told myself to just make it to 10 miles and then I could take it down to 1/2 percent. So I did just that. It took a 1/2 mile for my heartrate to adjust and be glad. 7:30 was now feeling doable. Here are my last splits, I ran the last 4 miles at 0 % in order to finish strong and get over the boredom already: 7:30, 7:30, 7:30, 7:30, 7:08- 7:24 (avg 7:16), 7:47 (needed to take a breather here, TM running is quite monotonous), 7:41, 7:35, 7:24-7:30, 6:40-7:24 (avg 7:08) = DONE!!!!! AVG PACE for 20 miles = 7:45. Total time 2 hours 35 minutes. Got off TM and ran to fill up water bottle at 5, 10, 15 mile markers. Really gave that TM a needed workout. Wowsers. Of course I had my cell phone on the TM so as to call Melanie immediately of my accomplishment. We rejoiced together!!! We are both done with our detox!! : DDDDD
