7.0? Are you serious?

This week, I've been doing the high intensity interval sprints on the treadmill... in an effort to relieve my non-vacation-travel stress, I thought I'd push my sprint pace up from 6.0 to 7.0. The first night, I practically threw up twice during the last two one minute sprints at this pace.

I finally stopped wanting to throw up, or fall off of the treadmill, when I realized that 7.0 is the pace for an 8:35 minute mile... how can this be?? Everyone else's normal running pace is my sprinting pace?? *sigh*

I've now added to my "Beat Chris so he can pay for me to go to Vegas" goal - goal#2 by May is to run an 8:35 minute mile! :-)

PS. Chris, saw my trainer at the gym last night and told her of our challenge... she's totally on my side!! :-P

PPSS. New running shoes have made such a huge difference for me!! :-)
