7 Miles on the Treadmill

7 treadmill miles at 0 incline and 7 mph.  Felt really good.  Of course treadmill miles are not nearly the same as road miles, but with the high winds and drizzle I couldn't bring myself to run outside today.  It was supposed to be a 'slow run' day, but because I ran on the treadmill I decided to push the speed up a bit.  The pace was 8:34 which is faster than my marathon pace goal.

Nutritionally I think I was well-fueled.  I'd eaten a ClifBar about an hour before the run.  And at work today there was a birthday party where I had pizza and cake for lunch!  Not great nutritionally but loaded with carbs which I think helped me maintain my pace for an hour.
