Speedwork day.  Yesterday after work I slept only three hours again.  I even made to church for all the meetings at 1pm yesterday.  No headache.  Didn't fall alseep until midnight.  Ridiculous.  Plan today run 3 x (2 x 0.75 mile, RI 2 minutes) repeats, 4 minute RI between sets.  I ran three miles to the PG rec center (8:40 avg pace).  I was going to run on their track outdoors but it still is too strong for me ( the new rubber track, gross).  So I ran the TM.  Should have gone to the AF track, so much nicer!!  The TM shook like mad but got it done.   Goal was 6:15 pace.  Here is how it went after a 1 mile warmup on the mill:  6:18, 6:18, 6:15, 6:15, 6:18, 6:13.  Not quite to my goal but this workout was hard for me with the mill shaking and the perfumed air.  Not too mention being out of shape for this pace, obviously hitting max VO2, not sure how to tell but I felt almost nauseated.  Form pathetic the last few as my shoes were way loose and my feet were moving all around in them.  They are still my 3 year old shoes.  You would laugh if you saw pictures of them.  But hey, no injuries : D.    4 mile cooldown to my house @ 8:38 avg pace.

AWESOME VO2 max workout! SPEEEEEDEEE!!!

Low 6's aren't your goal? Can't wait to see what it'd be when you're IN shape! Almost nauseated = almost puke pace??!!

What's with the shoes, still NO new shoes?

NICE speedwork to start off the week! GOOD JOB, Julie!!!

I haven't been able to purchase those shoes. The shoe store is New England Athletic shoes and apparently it is a ebay store but their site list my old shoes at 70 dollars but on their ebay site they are over 90. Their site gives no address on ebay or on the internet. So I got to get out to the store and try on the newest year and see if I just go with those since they would be about the same amount (99). I hate to go out and buy another pair after the last pairs catostrophe. So I wear my old ones...until a while.

oh and I will hopefully regain my strength for Saturday, YIKES!! Lots of hills and wind? I guess I will say, bring it on, but that's not what I am really thinking : D

That's 4.5 miles of low 6's running--quite a big speed workout! Way to go! That'll get the turnover going for sure!

Nice workout. Your paces are impressive to me.

I just finally answered your comment from Friday on my blog. I started working about a month ago, and I've had a hard time since then keeping up with email and blogging (well, okay, and laundry and housework, and everything else, too. But not running!).

See you Saturday!

Very good consist. splits. You are going to be so strong at Riverton!
