1st workout in the basement

Today was terrible weather wise. I always do this workout first when building up for marathons. It is nice to go through the old log books and compare workouts. It is a great test as to where I really am. I did 3 miles warm up outside and then went down to my treadmill. The original plan was 4 x 2 miles with 4-5 rest at 10:40/10:30/10:20/10:10. I was thinking that would be a great 1st effort. I put on brand new flats that I got from the adidas fellas. The first interval seemed long. I no longer have a tv in front of my mill so I have to stare at the numbers clicking of too slowly. 10:39 no bad. Bathroom break as I was holding that one in for the whole ten minutes. 10:30 right on a little tough not too bad though. 10:17 a bit fast but I had already decided to finish with a mile instead of two. My final mile was 5:02 not bad. I was hurting a bit on that one, to be expected. My legs haven't gone that fast in a while. My second run for the day was downright brutal. I needed to speed up the healing process from the morning thrashing. I did 4 in 85 degree weather with a bunch of thick air (humidity). Overall a very good start for me. I am hoping to get this workout outside in the next 8 weeks once to hopefully get all three down under 10. We will see. 14 1/2 weeks to the trials and a lot of work to be done.
