Word to the wise...most trainers don't advise doing intervals until at least a year into running solid (4-5 miles every other day) treadmill.
Sure had my heart thumping. Stick with hills unless you are training for something, I say.

I might do intervals soon, at least as soon as I get over the slight dizziness I experience after getting off the treadmill. I don't do more than two miles, though, as that's as far as my body will permit me to go.

ALL easier than intervals, though. That 8.0 isn't really a full sprint for me but four times in as many miles certainly got me counting minutes. I am really trying to take it easy after the "dilemmas" last time I ran so hard. Really tough to hold to a three or four mile 5.8 flat run, if you can believe it. Still...following Dr.'s orders as well as I can. A 15 mile week, though, seems wimpy. Up to ....uuummmmm...a 21 mile week now with those hills and intervals thrown in. Getting there.

Do you use the incline part of the treadmill? I usually have it at 1.0 or 0.5, depending on how my left shin is feeling that day.
When I played Ultimate Frisbee last year, if there was an early morning game, I just go to the field in what I'm going to wear as the day progresses. No jackets/sweaters left out on the sideline, in other words.

See, and I like how predictable they are. I never need to keep track of time, miles, weather. The latter is my usual trouble in a marathon setting. That and hills. I am not used to "layering." Most marathons start at an ungodly hour which is usually cold then you heat up and have to throw stuff off. Goes against my packrat mentality! LOL!
I think I actually picked up more cool stuff last race. St. Jude's is cool (literally) because they donate all such clothing to the needy.

Holy crap!! I can do 5.5 but 8.0 must suck!!! 
Treadmills are nice, but damn if I lose my footing after doing a run on one of those machines. Almost like trying to walk on land after being in a moving boat for hours. HA!!

Gearing up for October, I ran splits today seriously for the first time since I dropped. 4 miles total. 5.5 with four 3 minute bursts of 8.0. KILLER!!

Yup. It's alot harder to ride a bike against the wind than to run.
Speaking of running...I can run (or rather, jog) 2 miles in 30 mins...but that's about it.
