Today was Speed work on the Treadmill.  I had planned to do 8-10 800's.   I warmed up for 2 miles at a 7:45 pace.  I really was dreading the speed work but, after my first it wasn't too bad.  I tried to get most of the 800's under 3 minutes and have a recovery lap in between at a 8:00 pace.  Most of them were right around 2:55 and not one was over 3 minutes.  On my fifth I even did a 2:45.  I felt really good about the run.  I ended up with 6 800's and did one mile repeat at a 6:30 pace.  Overall I ran 10 miles in 70 minutes and 15 seconds.

Wow the wind was so strong this morning.   I felt like I was running into the mouth of Sp. Fork Canyon.  IT was okay for the first 5 but, pretty miserable for the second 5.  WE just took it easy today.  I did love the cooler temps.  IT would have been a perfect day without that wind.

Ran 7 outside by myself and then jumped on the treadmill for 2 more.  I don't know the pace because I didn't wear a watch-- I really think I do this on purpose.  I ran the last two in 14 minutes so a 7:00 Pace.

So feeling a little better-  well when aided with Ibuprofen.   I'm starting to feel the chest cold coming on.  After feeling so incredibly lazy yesterday I had to get some running in.  So I went 5 in 38 minutes.

Still not 100%.   The flem is really present hopefully this is a sign that everything is being flushed away.  Today after my tanning experience-- ( I decided to utilize the free tanning bed at the apartment and got completely fried.  Not a good idea because most of my body hasn't seen the sun nor a tanning bed in ages) I was plagued by itchy skin.  As soon as I started to sweat it was unbearable.   I thought I was going to die.  I will definitely not be frequenting the tanning bed anytime soon.   So I really wanted to do 5 miles keeping low key because I'm not feeling all to well but, it was shortened to 4 because I thought I was going to itch my skin off.  Anyway I hope tomorrow is better, I need one good run this week before my race next week.
