I hate when pace is in between fast and slow, so I'm logging all of this as fast, although it was really moderate.

 Ran on the treadmill at 8:34 pace.  The last mile was 8:57.

Lately I've been worrying about my running (ie, not doing enough) and now I'm trying to change my attitude.

I ran more this winter than I have since before I was pregnant with my second son.  I have to be happy about that.  And I think it's been harder since I'm not really training for anything in particular.  I've got to get on the ball as far as setting up races for the near future.  That's my goal for now.

I've also given up snacking for lent.  It's only been 5 days so far, so we'll see how that goes.  In addition, I'm saying the rosary on the way to school every day.  I probably should expand that to just every day, but I forgot to say it yesterday--left my rosary in the car.

Just guessing on how much of this was fast.  I varied my pace--2 minutes easy, 1 minute hard.  I had limited time tonight because during my "me" time I had to run to the store to get toilet paper, and as is I missed bedtime.

Easy 5 miles at 8:57 pace.

I tried Carolyn's hill sprints, although I only did 5 because I felt like a doofus.

They were hard to do on a treadmill, and here's why:  I had to accelerate into the sprints and I wasn't quite sure when I reached full speed, so I probably sprinted more than the 8-10 seconds I was supposed to.  And then I jumped off the treadmill so that the belt could wind down, and every time I did it I got weird looks.  Then I had to walk/lightly jog a cooldown and begin again.

I will try them again next easy run I do--in the meantime I'll try to think of an easier way to do them.

Not exactly sure that this was exactly 6 miles, but I know that my pace was pretty steady at 9:15 pace for the first 4 miles and then the last 2 miles I actually had the wind at my back, so I was probably slightly faster.  I ran for 55:15 just to be pretty sure that I completed 6.
