No race for me this morning- Amazing Grace, Nova that is decided to wake up multiple times and then I had baby duty from 3 am on (so Heidi could get some sleep) and was wiped out. Had tons to do around the house and for business so never finished until 5pm. Have to get some kind of run in I thought. I decided to run a simulated 5k race but didn't want to be dodging cars in the dark so it became a treadmill sim. 1.5 mile warm-up @ 9:22 pace Then stretched Quads, Hams, calves and hips
2.5 miles at 6:00 pace (Felt quite doable from the start) At 2.5 upped the pace a notch each .1 mile then 4:26 pace last .1.
Finished somewhere under 18 minutes. 1 mile cool down @ 7:24 pace .9 Mile cool down @ 8:20 pace .5 mile cool down @ 9:22 pace .2 mile walk
For some reason I can run a treadmill faster than real life. Probably because it helps you move and you don't have to carry the extra weight around. Definitely had some juice left. I only ran Mon. and Tuesday this week and then baby showed up Tues. afternoon. My lungs and muscles felt pretty good. I was able to rest from running this week but not sleep much. Look forward to running a real 5k sometime.
