Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

7:53 overall average pace.  Treadmill day!  Temps -10 outside with howling wind.  Drove to building 1 to the treadmill I can use for free.  Felt weird to run in shorts and a T-shirt and boy 67 degrees feels downright HOT.  Sweated a ridiculous amount.  Set incline to 0.5% since I am taking it easy on my knee still. 

2 miles at 8:41 pace

4 miles at 7:30 pace(brisk but fairly comfortable--marathon pace in April?)

2 miles at 6:58 pace(now this just felt much harder than it does outside-half-marathon pace?)

1 mile cool down 9:13--10:00 pace.

Once again, hats off to the folks who run on the dreadmill often because it kicks my tail.  Although, I think I may start running on it once a week for tempo-type runs like this to build up stamina--the treadmill belt doesn't slow down!

Nice motivation to stay on a treadmill for that long! Sounds like you got a good workout!

Great workout, it does take a while to get used to doing session on the 'mill. And it certainly doesn't slow down!

I went running with RUN2DAY today. He was wearing a sweat shirt, beanie, and gloves. I was just wearing a t-shirt and shorts.

I hate hate hate the treadmill. I can't run on one... I always end up walking. Kudos to you for not only running on one, but doing it with style! (Your pace is amazing)
