Treadmill speed work. 

 20 laps

I won't bore you with super specifics

3 miles at 7:00 min pace run 1 mile at a time with 1 lap between to rest.  When I felt like it I ran 2 laps at 6:30 pace with a lap to rest.  It all added up to 20 laps and about 45 min of running.

Treadmill

 Same workout as yesterday but increased speed to miles done at 6:30 pace and 2 laps intermixed at 6:15 pace.  Felt great!!

Jogged with the dog to the truck and felt sick.  Running on a treadmill watching a tv 1 ft. from my face for the past week has messed up some sort of equilibrium!!

So...after not being able to run outside for 3 weeks and now having gone for a couple runs of no significant distance during which I felt like I was beginning training all over, I've decided not to run my first 1/2 marathon in Spanish Fork this coming weekend.

 A good friend of mine wants to run a 1/2 but isn't feeling ready yet.  We are going to train and find a 1/2 to run.  Anyone know of any cheap 1/2 marathons in Utah...closer to Provo?  

 Also, anyone want to add a runner to a running group or make a new one.  I run around an 8:00min mile on longer runs and can push myself like a true competitor.  I want to meet my goal but lack the support of other runners to go with.
