I did 3 minutes at 6.5 (9:13 pace) and then did 2 leg exercises and 1 ab exercise, 3 minutes running etc. Total of 21 minutes running, 2 miles and 40 minutes of weights, total of 60 minutes.

8 miles and 2 miles walking

Today I ran 8 miles (on the treadmill) at a 10:40 pace, total time 85 minutes then walked 2 miles (I was watching a movie and wanted to finish it. Felt great. Had to push a little at the end to get the last two miles of running done, just wasn't feeling it. I did finish though. The wind is hollowing outside and I didn't want to fight it to go for a run.
