I can't imagine writing the words "8" (miles) and "easy" in the same sentence. The most I've ever run is 5 miles. And that was a rarity, just a couple of times. You should feel really good about yourself, lime. What you take for granted, many/most of us can't do.Originally Posted by limewave

2 miles on the treadmill tonight, barefoot. I had a Spinnervals workout on my plan but once I got to the basement, I decided that I wanted to run, too. Since I didn't have my shoes with me, I just did it barefoot. FUN!
(I should mention that all my runs are done in barefoot type shoes, so going without on the treadmill was no biggie)My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom

Yesterday, I ran heart zone 4 and 5 intervals at the gym. Total distance was 7K (just over 4 miles) including warm-up and cool down.2010 Scott Speedster Limited/Bontrager Inform RL

I've been taking an unscheduled easy week-- just been feeling tired a lot. But today was a nice run, 6.5 miles on the treadmill, in exactly 1 hr. Tomorrow it's back outside for a long run, distance depending on how I feel.

I did another 35 minutes or so of intervals. I'm guessing 2.5 miles. It felt pretty good. The MUT through my town is flooded in spots so I just randomly ran through my neighborhood and through the nearby cemetary.

11K yesterday on the treadmill at the gym. I don't mind doing shorter runs and intervals on the dreadmill, but I am really hoping that it warms up soon so that I can at least do my long runs outside. I run slow, so I was on the treadmill for 1 hour 25 minutes yesterday
The good news is that my sweetie and I are leaving this weekend for Costa Rica, so then I can complain about trying to run/hike in the heat and humidity.2010 Scott Speedster Limited/Bontrager Inform RL
