A sort of ladder on the treadmil.  .25 at 6.3, .5 at 6.4, .25 at 6.3, .5 at 6.5, .25 at 6.4, etc.  For the last mile I increased speed every .25 up to 7.0.

A little "speed" is a lot easier these days than it was even a month ago. I know that is because of the blogging--it helps me to stay in the running habit.

I have realistic expectations for the half that I am doing.  Even though it's not till late April, my goal is probably around 1:50, though I believe it'll probably a little over that.  I do not have any plans to train hard for it.  Maybe next year.  For now, I just want to put in comfortable miles without too much hard work.

I agree about the whole blogging thing.
