Excited to get a run in I thought about going to the track, but it as a tad chillier than I was willing to be outside in and so I went to the treadmill. I warmed up a lap, ran another warm-up one at 6.5 then took a slight break and stretched more. Then I did a hard lap, took a short 30 second-1 minute break and repeated that -increasing each lap by 0.5mph. I did laps at 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5 and 10.0 (1:30 lap/6:00 mile pace!). My 700th mile was rounded out at 10.0mph - which I thought was a wonderful way to round out the distance. I then walked a cool down lap at 4.3mph. Total Workout: 2.5 miles in 22:17 388cals 1%.
Every hard lap I listened to Alison Krauss & Union Station "Fast Fiddle and Banjo Tune" and during the breaks I listened to Tegan & Sara "Floorplan". The instrumental was perfect for a lap's worth of hard running.
When I was done I lifted my 5lb weights some, did 100 crunches, and 20 push-ups (timidly so as not to hurt my wrist).
I then ate some salmon (which is basically unheard of for me), vegetables, ate a few Girl Scout cookies, and rewarded myself with a beer.
New Miles: 2.5
Total Miles: 700.25
Miles Remaining: 799.75
Weight: 133.0
