Warm-up mile then 1.0 mile at 6.5mph. Then a short break for water. Then 2.0 miles at 7.0mph - though just before hitting 3.75 I started running for 1:00 minute on then 1:00 off - going to 7.5, down to 7.0, up to 8.0, back to 7.0, then to 8.5, then to 8.0, then 7.5, then 7.0 - that got me to 4.5 total miles. I then slowed to 6.5 for a lap, 6.0 for a lap, then for a cool down lap I trotted along at 5.5 then 5.0. I had intended to walk and stop at 5.0 but then since Ryan hadn't yet kick me off the tready as I had expected him too I figured I had the time to walk .25 for a cool down. I then ended and went to grab water and found Ryan all geared up for an outside run! It was 24 degrees outside with a wind chill below 0! But he was going out none-the-less. The good news was that I still had time to use the treadmill. So after seeing him off I got back onto the treadmill and walked 1.25 at 4.2mph 1% while playing Solitaire and listening to public radio. Total Workout: 6.5 in68:10 1025cals 1%.
The run felt strong. Ever since the 4.0 mile run the other day my body has felt strong again and not rejecting the idea of running. So happy to feel like "I'm back!"
Most Motivating Song:
Shakira - "Waka Waka (Esto Es Africa)" (It came on the "Workout Pop" station - a much better than "Today's Pop" station, though there were several overlaps)
