That's a great recovery run! Way too go.

Nice speed at the end of your run. I often pick it up on the last mile too. I think I'm just anxious to get done.

I do the same thing. I really like interval runs. The miles just seem to fly by, but the long runs are so boring.

It's a good sign that you got bored by the recovery pace. It means you're getting awesomely faster. Marathon pace is going to be SLOW for you. I'm not there yet. My recovery runs are truely recovery pace with dead legs most of the time.

You got bored because you were on the treadmill. Had you been outside you would have not been bored. You would have been frozen and covered with snow. That or you would have slipped on ice during the 1st mile and broken something. Hmmmm..... I guess it was a good day for the treadmill. Nice way to spice things up by picking up the pace at the end.

I keep forgeting that many of you northerners are on the treadmill alot. It's nice to be able to turn up the speed to the pace you want. I just don't know how long I could put up with staying in the same place for so long. Nice recovery run.
