I woke up this morning and the trees were swaying like crazy so like usual, I woke Ale up at 4:55am and asked him what I should I do. I know he loves it, even though he won't admit it or maybe even remember it. Anyway, he instructed me to go the gym. The last two days I aqua jogged so I knew I need to do some actual running.

There is something about the treadmill, that makes me feel like I am not working hard enough. I always feel like I need to go faster. I started today off around the 7:30 mark and only 1% for incline. I left the 1% the entire run but played around with the speed. I finally settled into a 7:08 pace until the last 2 miles. I cranked it down to 6:45 pace, I think it was 8.6 mph or something like that, I think it only goes up to 9 so I was afraid to go much faster. In the end it was an average f 7 miles at 7:10 pace which is good not the best but good for starters anyway. It felt good to work hard and push the comfort limit a bit. I really like getting into the 6's and focusing on relaxing my body, from my face, to my shoulders, hands, ect... it's been a long time since I've done anything fast so it was good. It felt good.

Hoping to get out for 10 tomorrow! I need to start seeing some of those double digits mid week!
