I would like to run a 10 mile and a half marathon within the next two years.

I am training to run a 10 mile race this October (2015).

Good run this morning on the treadmill.  First mile was my warm up running up to a speed of 8:06.  The next mile I kept this pace then miles 3 and 4 I ran at an 8:00 pace and mile 5 dropped down to a 7:53.  That 7:53 felt good today and by my average HR I think it was a good pace.

Avg HR: 156

Max HR: 168

Another good 5 mile run on the treadmill.  I got down to an 8:06 pace pretty easily and quickly within the first mile.  Then I ran at an 8:00 up until mile 2.  Then for miles 3-5 I ran at 7:53!  Feeling good!  My Heart Rate monitor was off because it's rubbed my skin raw so I was adjusting it during my run which I think threw things off because this is what it said at the end:

Avg HR: 159 - I believe this.

Max HR: 203 - Crazy.

Great morning run on the treadmill.  First warm-up mile down to an 8:06 pace.  Changed down to an 8:00 pace from mile 1 1/2 to 4.  Then the last 1/2 mile ran at a 7:53 pace.  I should have run at that pace a lot earlier on but for some reason I was thinking this needed to be a slower run because of my longer run tomorrow, but that wasn't right.  Oh-well.  It was a good almost easy feeling run.  Just get a little bored on the treadmill.

Avg HR: 155

Max HR: 165

I think this shows it was a pretty smooth sailing run.

I felt really good this run.  My lower back has been hurting a little lately while running on the treadmill.  Not sure if that's normal because of the pounding?
