i forgot to incline. I did some speed work today. Got it from my half marathon training guide. 

4x400 speedwork with a 2 min jog in between.

20 min warmup at a 8:34. Did this for a little over two miles. 

1/4 mile at 7:03 then a 2 min pace at 7:47ish.

Repeated that a total of 4 times but last time ran 1/2 mile and at 6:58.  Then I ran a 7:50ish pacedor about 15 min.

1% incline. This morning was a slow start. I didn’t have much motivation. Then Landon came down and didn’t want to go back to bed. Then I had to use the bathroom and when I went in Ryan was awake. I have an early morning ahead of me but I will try to run another 3 miles later today. 

8:34.  8:20.  8:00 for the last 3 miles.

yesterday my hamstrings felt so tight. I think I need a reload week. So today instead of doing my 10-12 mile run I cut it in half. It felt good physically and mentally.
