Man, I was dreading the treadmill. I didn't want to do it, especially b/c of how nice it was all day, but I managed to get to the Y, and I ran on the treadmill.
The plan was to run for 30 minutes, which is actually what I did. I started out at 6.5 miles per hour, which is basically a 9:30 pace, for 3.1 miles or so. Nothing special. I am going to break down how the run goes:
> Minute 0 - Minute 10:
I hate that part, every run, I really do. The hopeless 'beginning', it absolutley sucks...I just feel slow and that it'll never end
> Minute 10 - Minute 18:
I start to feel like things are just moving along, I don't really feel much of anything during this portion
> Minute 18 - Minute 25:
Today in particular, I realized I didn't push myself and I have a lot left in the tank. My fear of being "empty" is just so great and overwhelming that I think I take it too easy
> Minute 25 - Minute 30:
Lately, I have been trying to push myself at the end of this run. Tonight I went from 6.5 mph to 7.5 for the last 4 minutes or so.
I am looking forward to tomorrow's run and then sunday's BIG BOY, 8 miler!
Workout: 3.2 miles, 30 minutes (treadmill)
Tomorrow, 30 miles, 6.8 for 15 minutes, 7.0 for minutes. around 3.3 miles (hopefully!!!)

This weekend is going to be awesome for jogging. Wicked awesome weather guy.
Plus fried dough at the headofthecharles.
I do this thing when I start on the treadmill by taking really big bounds and going high in the air until I settle it down. Not sure why I do that but it seems to get the run off to a good start.
