I was fighting a headache for about an hour before I got on the treadmill – contemplating not running but figured I would hit the treadmill hard and it would either cure the headache or make it bad enough that I had to stop. And if I had to stop at least I would have done something.
Ended up with a very solid run out of the deal – first part of the run was 1 minute at 7.5 mph then 1 minute at 9 mph until I hit about 16 minutes and then I did 8 and 9 – gave me my fastest half hour this year so far (about 4.17 or so). At the half hour mark I walked for about 45 seconds before getting into more intervals to finish off 5 miles at 36:15.
All in all a very solid run that gives me hope that I can recover some of the speed I have lost since late last fall.
As a bonus the headache is gone as well. Whoohoo!
