Back on the treadmill 

Another 3 miles tonight. Same plan as last week with six intervals getting progressively faster. Tonight at the end of my last interval, which was at an 8.0 or about a 7:30 minute mile pace, I sped up to an 8.5 or a 7:03 mile pace for just about 15 seconds to see how it would feel. 

I think it would be a good idea to add some more challenge into my intervals and speedwork. I can tell the efforts I'm putting in are paying off on both the short and the long runs. 

I'm happy to have the day off tomorrow and looking forward to some good sleep. Early mornings can be rough. The runs aren't the hard part for me...it's the getting out of bed. My Thursday morning runs start getting longer tomorrow. 4 miles instead of 3 miles. I'll be happy to sleep in and maybe even foam roll before my morning run!

38 runs to go!
