TM workout at Gold's gym around 10:30 after eating cereal a couple hours earlier. Decided it would be fun to mimick Benny VB's workout from a couple days ago. I know it doesn't mean I'm as fit as him (far from it), considering I ran it on fresh legs (Sunday off) and relatively low mileage so I didn't have to experience the cumulative fatigue... but it looked like a fun workout and only a little more than the tempo I did last week. No TM incline and at sea level since I'm back in Tri-cities now. 

3mWU@ 6:55 including strides, taking 1 energy gel at 2.5m. Quick pee break...

8m tempo (PMP) @ 5:37.5 pace. (5:39x4, 5:36x4). Ran an extra 30 seconds over 8m at pace since that's about how long it took the TM to ramp up at the beginning. Drank a few gulps of water every 2-3 miles. Quick #2 break after tempo...stomach needs to get used to taking fluids/gels again. (It's been a while since I've done any marathon training)

5' EZ (6:58 pace), 5x45'' @ 12mph w/ equal jog (6:58 pace) rest. 4.5' cooldown @ 6:58 pace to total 13.5m@6:03. The whole run felt really good and easy. It's surprising how comfortable upper 5:30's feels. However, it was on a treadmill (no wind resistance) and I didn't adjust the incline to make up for it. Still exciting though. :)

9m@6:30 though maybe I shouldn't label them all as "easy". 6:40 to start then 6:00 for the next 2.25 till the TM shut down on me. Switched treadmills but decided to continue at 6:40 pace cuz I just wasn't adapting. I guess that'll happen when you've been on your feet all day and already eaten 3 meals.

am 6.5m@7:43 on snowy, icy roads. Pretty cold!

pm 3.5m@7:23 on TM at Oasis after work. Had to wear my Altra Instinct Everyday dress shoes because I forgot my running shoes! Besides breathibility, they were comfortable and worked great.

I've been dealing with some left achilles tenosynovitis since my long run last saturday in the snow. All this snow and ice running hasn't been helping. Gonna try and stick to the treadmill a little more the next couple days. Been self-treating with ice and TENS unit, self massage/mobilization w/ hands and foam roll, Game Ready cryocompression at work, etc. It's feeling much better today today (Thursday) than yesterday.

Core and strength workout inside helped clear the sinuses a bit, but too low energy for a run today.
