I managed to get on the treadmill relatively early tonight – kind of a nice change.
I started out with 5 minutes at 7 mph to just stretch the legs out a bit and then worked my way up to 8 mph and stayed there pretty consistently. There were a couple points where I backed off to a walk or a slower speed but the vast majority of the run was kept up at 8 mph.
Things definitely felt good and I was able to stay at a very good pace. It was one of those nice runs where pushing a little didn’t take your whole focus – I was able to push the speed while still letting my mind work on other things.
Lots more miles to go this week though – still have a 5 miler tomorrow, a 10 on Saturday and 20 on Sunday for another conditioning check for the Dopey Challenge in January. Should be interesting!
