Session 10: 3.3mi / 50min, peaked at 5.8 or 5.9mph. My best jog phase was half a lap at something like 5.5mph, then slowing to 4.8ish to complete the lap. I was feeling a bit off-peak throughout the run, which made my form a little sloppy. I think that has something to do with what I'm eating and/or when; I might get back in the swing of energy bars if it strikes a better balance between feeling torpid as much as 4 hours after a protein-heavy meal, and being distracted by hunger signals halfway through a r...

Wanted a funnel to make it a little easier to get Tang powder into my reused 1qt Gatorade bottles. Publix has sets of 3 plastic funnels for 2.89. It may seem cheap but I'm not spending $3 after sales tax for one plastic funnel that costs the manufacturer pennies to make, and two more that I don't need. Target had basically the same set-of-three bundle deal going on, just priced higher. Screw em, somewhere in my wanderings I'll find someplace that wants to sell me exactly as many funnels as I actually need....

Session 9: 3.3mi in 50 minutes (3.96mph), new peak of 5.5mph for a half-lap, at least 1 full lap at 4.8mph. I was so pleased I broke the 50-minute 5K barrier, but actually, I broke that barrier already on some previous session, because I standardized on a 3.3mi workout but 5K is only 3.1mi. The gym was a little on the undercooled side for my taste.
I don't remember for certain, because all this running and overheating my brain has melted the myelin on a few axons, but I think my choice of distance was b...

(per twitter) 3.3mi, 52min. Feeling off-peak and maxed at 5.0mph, played around a little with grades, longest jog phase 1.25 laps at 4.8mph.
I dug back thru my FB wall to review from where I started training. Silly me, it would have been a lot easier to dig back thru Twitter - much less clutter, and the bulk of my recent tweets are my treadmill log. Anyway, it was June 21, 3.5mi in ~1 hour.
Session 2, Jun 29, peak at 4.2mph.
Session 3, Jul 12, peak at 4.4mph.
Session 4, Aug 2, peak at 4.7mph.
