5K Run in 21:39
Got on the treadmill early this morning for a nice birthday run. Nothing better than starting out a holiday or a birthday with a good morning run. Makes you feel like a million bucks the rest of the day and no guilt about what you end up eating. I cranked the treadmill up from the get-go this morning and proceeded to run at speeds ranging from 8.5 to 10.0 for the duration of the run. Good to get a little speed work in and finish the 5K run in 21:39 for a pace under 7 minutes per mile.

2.0 Mile Run with New IPOD Nano & Nike +
2.0 Mile Run with New IPOD Nano & Nike +
Got my new 16GB IPOD Nano and a new Nikeplus running chip/receiver for Christmas yesterday, so I couldn't wait to hook it up and get in my first Nikeplus run since March! Hard to believe I've lived this long without Nike +. Anyways, I went for a 2 mile run on the treadmill and quickly realized that my failure to calibrate the nike + sensor prior to my run resulted in me having to crank the treadmill up to 9.0 just to equate to a 8 minute per mile pace on the nike plus. Thus, my first run below looks awfully slow paced, even though reality would show I was sprinting for the last mile. After the run Icalibrated the nikeplus, so it should be good moving forward.

3 Mile Treadmill Run in 25:58
3 Mile Treadmill Run
Got on the treadmill this afternoon as the snow continued to accumulate outside. I started the treadmill off at 7.6, then gradually moved it up to 8.1 where I finished the 3 mile run. Watching the Patriots while running certainly helped, especially since they throttled the Arizona Cardinals. I finished the 3.0 mile run in 25:58, then walked for a 1/2 mile before stopping.
