Still doing an awful job logging everything! I'm still sticking to the schedule. I'm a little worried about not being able to run outside much, but I did finally get outside on Saturday for 5.25 miles in the snow and it was great. I'm hoping the monotony of the mental effort required for the treadmill will help in the race itself.
15 mile long run last week was pretty hard--I did a lot of hills and I really felt it. This week I ran 4 on Monday, 8 on Tuesday, rest on Wed, and then ran 16 tonight. I just kept it at incline 1 the entire time (TMI alert, but I was having some random bleeding out of the blue so I took a couple of iron pills and just tried to take it easier than I would have normally). Took breaks at 4.2, 9, 12, and 14.5 for water and energy shots.
Slowly sped up over the last seven miles--I really was feeling pretty strong (impressive since it's midnight and I have been super dragging for days...I think the iron made a HUGE difference already) and finished at 8:00/mile. 9:36 average pace.
