Day 69: Rest & Run, again

I took off Friday, Day 68, as a break from everything. My body was just telling me to do that.  This morning I hit up another workout on the treadmill, getting in 2.5 miles again in under 20 minutes.
The workout was pretty steady for the first mile, then I went up .1 mph every 10% of a mile for about half a mile, then went back down for the next half mile and finished it with the 7.5mph speed for my last half mile.

7.5mph is basically an 8 minutes/mile pace and that speed has always been a 'go-to' speed for me to aim for on easy pace runs.  Come summertime, I may be in the 7:30 to 7:45/mile range for a majority of my running speeds unless its a speed workout. 

I feel I'm getting pretty used to my treadmill now and I'm liking how I don't have to go outside and bundle up in layers just to get in a running workout. 

I hope pretty soon that the weather perks up again and I can run outdoors with minimal layers at least.

As I'm nearing 90 days with my overall workouts, I realize its a great start but 90 days is merely a mile marker on the journey.  I'm happy so far that I am at least back into running and getting in speed sessions with sprints, plus a good mix of strength and power workouts in the mix too.

I'm glad I've had AdvoCare products to help me along that journey.  I'm still deciding what to go on next, but I'm leaning towards another week or two of Slim since I felt that really worked great for me.
