I felt a little tired coming off that progression run on Wednesday. I ran 8 miles total; one warm-up mile at 9:37, and then six progressively faster miles at 9:09, 8:41, 8:25, 8:12, 7:59, and 7:55, then a cooldown mile at 9:57. This was all on the treadmill, so I didn't have to think about pacing. I aimed to start out fairly conservatively, end up at the low end of tempo pace, and average in my "steady-state" range (McMillan term), so I accomplished that. The workout felt great at the time, and I didn't even feel too bored on the treadmill since I got to change speeds so often. I was tired on Thursday and even some on Friday, but by today I felt fine. Still, the recovery week to come will not be unwelcome.
Today's run I spent reflecting on life's frailty, and in sending my thoughts out to Ryan Shay's wife, friends, and family, in hope that their healing has begun. I ran in the evening, finishing just at sunset. It was a peaceful, quiet run.

you had a good week. thats the nice thing about the treadmill never have to think about pace :) I'm more use to it now but I still don't like it. I worry most about zoning out and crashing on the treadmill.
Have a good coming week

O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa.
