Ran on the TM at the gym.  Started out slow and speed up- finished my last 1 1/2 miles at a 7:30 pace.  AP- 8:10.  I think the treadmill is good for mental training- it is so tedious  I always increase my pace just to finish faster-  It feels like the last mile or so of a marathon- I can't wait for it to be over.  Maybe I need to get my ipod charged or get a book on tape to help pass the time.

Nicely done Michelle. I was just taking a gander on ya! What gym do you go to? I do that also on the treadmill. Start at 6 miles an hour and get to 12 miles an hour haha. I can only make one mile at that I look forward to the day I cans sustain all 26.2. Be good!

It was nice to see you this morning and chat for a minute!! I am so glad you are all healed up and ready to run and race again!

You are fast on the TM! I am impressed, I hate that dang thing.

I am mad that I didn't go now Kelli and Michelle. I was up and had to take my daughter to bingham at 5. It was so cold so I went to marvs and treadmill ran.
