Run 1 - easy pace 02:00

Run 4 Recovery Run - 5 x :15 flat strides and one set of form drills at the end.

Run 3 - ran on TM at 8 min pace, then ran 6 X 1:30 surges at 6 minutes per mile. 1% incline.

Ran on Treadmill (TM), for Run 2 - flat tempo run of 15 at 6.5 pace. I've noticed my TM pace numbers go 6.0,6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, then jump to 7.0. I am assuming that 6.5 is 6 minutes and 30 seconds, but correct me if I'm wrong. Incline was 0.5, because I usually set it at 1.0, but realized it was at 0.0 half way through the workout. At first, running at 6.5, I thought I wouldn't be able to hold it, but to my surprise, I managed it, even got into a rythym and focused watching soccer on TV and not the time on my TM. After 17 minutes, I realized I could hold it longer, but I wanted to stay true to the workout and dropped down to an 8.5 pace.

Up to this point in the training log, the times are estimated. If they appear more specific, i.e. 01:18:00 vs. 01:15:00, then I may have actually recorded them. Up to now, I've tended to wear my GPS watch only on the weekends to track mileage and watch my pace, so I have a better handle on what I'm running. During the course of the week, I run by mile markers, i.e. center of Morristown is 4 miles, Dunkin Donuts is 7.5.
