I met the BBK's at 10200 S. and 3200 W.  I felt so much better today than I have in a while.  It was very windy going South.   I love running with the group.   It was a good run.

Average pace 8:31.  (miles 7 and 8 were under 8 minute miles)

1 hour on the Stairmaster.  I started reading Eclipse and the time flew by.  When the hour was up I realized that I should have worked out a little harder.  My average HR was only 140.  Oh well.  It was a good fat burning workout.

I ran Cheryl's half marathon route with Cheris and Michelle M.  We started at Bingham at 5:45.  It was really nice to run without much traffic.  We ran a very comfortable average pace of 8:52.

I met Dean, Chris, Cheris, Michelle M. and Jody at Dean's church for the extra miles.  Then for the main workout Dean had us run 3 x 2 mile loops.  I was cold for the first few minutes, but was fine after that.  Mile splits were 9:59, 9:32, 9:34, 8:51, 8:35, 8:20, 8:22, 8:37, 8:10.  Average 8:53

7 miles on the treadmill at home.  I ran the first 7 miles of the Boston Hills simulator run I found.  It was the hardest workout I've had in a few months.

I met Michelle at the gym for a treadmill run.  I found the following workout that someone made on the internet.  It is a Boston Marathon - Newton hills simulator run.  This is my 4th time doing it.  It's a tough workout.  It does seem to get a little easier each time.  I ran the first 10 miles of it.  Some day I may do the whole thing.

 Miles 1-3 at 9:00 pace

Key:
Mile Marker - Incline % - Speed Setting - Pace per mile:
3.0-3.7 - 3% - 7.6 - 7:53
3.7-4.7 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00 (my marathon goal pace)
4.7-5.0 - 6% - 6.8 - 8:49
5.0-6.4 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00
6.4-6.8 - 4% - 7.3 - 8:12
6.8-7.4 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00
7.4-7.8 - 6% - 6.8 - 8:49

"I did the hill schedule two times during the 20 mile run. The first time beginning at mile 3 and the last time at mile 15, when I knew it would really be a challenge.
From mile 7.8-mile 15, I ran between an 8:12 and an 8:19 pace on 0% incline to simulate downhill as much as possible."
This is what the hill workout looked like the 2nd time:


Key:
Mile Marker - Incline % - Speed Setting - Pace per mile:
15.0-15.7 - 3% - 7.6 - 7:53
15.7-16.7 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00
16.7-17.0 - 6% - 6.8 - 8:49
17.0-18.4 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00
18.4-18.8 - 4% - 7.3 - 8:12
18.8-19.4 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00
19.4-19.8 - 6% - 6.9 - 8:41 (I increased the speed a little to push it on this virtual "Heartbreak Hill."
19-8-20.0 - 1% - 7.6 to 7.7 - 7:49-7:53

I met Peggy, Mike and Jody at 5:15 for the extra miles.  When the rest of the BBK's came, we ran around Parkway Palisades.  I was happy to get in some extra miles.  Average pace just under 9:00.

Happy Birthday to me.
