Running up a hill...sorta!

Goood morning all!

So, I accomplished a new feat yesterday. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill without going below 6 mph the entire time. Not to mention...I ran the first 2 miles or so on a level 3 incline! So, to sum up my run, I was drenched (and so was the treadmill!) by the end of mile 1. I was surprised by how slow my time was, but I guess that's what happens when you're running on an incline comparable to a decently steep hill.

I am also struggling with how far I should be pushing myself. I don't know what's too much and what's not enough. I think maybe it's one of those things that can never have a definite answer, you just have to go with your instinct. I do know, though, that I pushed myself pretty damn hard yesterday...but, yea, I could have pushed even harder.

An off week

So, Sunday was an 8 mile run. Oddly enough, I felt like crap running it. I felt worse than when I ran 11 miles the week before. It just goes to show, that not every week is an "on" week. And I'm ok with that. But, today through Saturday, I am going to work my ass off so that my 12 miles this coming Sunday isn't torturous.

That's all I have for now!
