I'm so excited! For the first time since the marathon, I had a sub-30 minute 3 mile run! So excited! It was 29:55. And I ran hard. I could really tell that I was working for each step. Which is OK.
For quite some time now, I've been using my Nike+ to track my total time and distance. But I have not been using the tool where she tells me:
5 minutes completed
10 minutes completed
15 minutes completed
10 minutes to go
5 minutes to go
4 minutes to go
3 minutes to go
2 minutes to go
1 minute to go.......
So, this morning I decided to use that tool. And it sure kept me on track! I'll do it again tomorrow until I'm consistent again.
And I did run hills today. 5 times. I'll get back to 7 times in the next couple of weeks, I guess. I can really tell I'm getting stronger at them again.

I'm not sure I would like that feature but then who knows? Never tried anything like it.
Still raining a little here this morning and we have 2.4 inches in the gauge out there. 8-10 inches in places in southern MN!! Flooding, schools and roads closed this morning. A real mess.
I'm not back to 10 minute miles. How do I know? Because I'm running at 5 mph on the TM so 2.5 miles in 30 minutes. Good enough for now. TM acted funny when I plugged it in this morning. Incline went all the way up and then all the way down and then the display came on and I could get on with it. Hope it's ok. Seemed fine once I got going.
Have a good day!
Yeah, it does break my concentration a bit. I don't use it on zen runs. and I bet it won't take long for me to be able to self regulate my pace at 10 minutes/mile.
Those poor people. I sure feel bad for them.
That is a great time! Oh, treadmill, don't break on us now!
