treadmill perhaps not so bad?

I ran 5 mile intervals yesterday. So basically I did a warm up mile then did 800m (1/2m) intervals between 9:30 and 10:15/10:30 and then did a cool down mile at 10:30/11. I did stop and rest a few breathes here and there- but overall it was a good run.

It's really the first time I've done intervals since years ago when I used to try to get through a mile or two by running 0.1 and then walking 0.1. I've come a long way since. The treadmill wasn't too bad last night. Was almost like the difference in speeds keep me motivated and let me break the run down into 0.5 sections... which I've realized is super important.

I think tonight I might try and run a mile or two quite slowly- just for mileage. Saturday is our first Team in Training run in Central Park at 8:30 am. Say good bye to my Friday nights for the next 5 months!!!

making progress.

Ran 3 miles last night on the treadmill at the gym. This was the best treadmill run I've had in a while... sometimes I can zone out and sometimes I can't. This time I finally could.

Tonight I'm meeting the other Team in Training people for a meet and greet- If you can believe it I am nervous! I mean everyone is slightly nutty for running a marathon, don't you think?

Wish me luck!
