Well good runs seem to be a trend. I ran 6 miles today. I set the treadmill to 6.6mph (9:05 pace) and was determined to keep a slow pace. I felt so good it was hard not to increase my speed, but I did it. Well for the most part. I don't get it, why can't I just run at one pace and enjoy it. I always have the urge to increase my speed on the treadmill. When I run outside this doesn't happen. It really baffles me. For the first 5 miles I randomly increased my incline for 2-5 minute intervals instead of increasing my speed. I figured this could make me a stronger runner. I was dying to increase my speed. I couldn't take it anymore, so I increased my speed to 7mph then to 8 then to 9. I must have been tired because it was a little harder than I expected, but a challenge is what I wanted, right? All in all it was a good run. It took me 53:53 - an 8:51 mile pace.
79/460 miles complete
