I'm going to start calling this my tempo workout day. Did my laps on the treadmill like last week, with a few changes: 6.0 - 1/4 mile 6.5 - 3/4 mile 7.0 - 1 mile 7.5 - 1/2 mile - just couldn't face doing an entire mile at this pace this morning, like last week. I know, I wimped out. Gladly dropped down for a rest after half a mile. 6.0 - 1/4 mile 7.5 - 1/2 mile - thought after the rest I'd be better, but still kind of dragging. You know it's a bad sign if you are already feeling nauseous at a 7.5 (I could feel all of that Halloween candy coming back to haunt me. . .) 6.0 - 1/4 mile 6.5 - 1/4 mile - picked up the pace here. 6.0 was just too slow at this point, which was actually a good thing :) 9.0 - 1/4 mile - my playlist finished right before this lap, so I ran it sans music. Just me, the treadmill, and 1.40 trying to tell my body not to hurl. Almost made it, too, but those last 10-15 seconds kill me every time. I did finish, I didn't puke, but the "almost" was definitely there again today. So, three weeks of this and still haven't overcome the puking sensation. I know what I need to do next time, though. NO MORE CANDY!!!!! Seriously. Halloween is killing me!!
