Run #5 - Speedwork on the Treadmill

Today is the first day of school for most around here, plus there was rain in the forecast. I usually do my speedwork at the (outdoor, see rain comment) track at the high school (see first day of school comment), but today I opted for the gym. I did my 1.25 miles at a 10-minute-mile pace at zero incline. I figured the track would have been perfectly flat, so why make today a challenge??? Seriously, though, all of my other runs include hills. The marathon I'd like to conquer in the spring has many, many hills (www.littlerockmarathon.com). At this time a very, very generous soul is preparing for me a marathon training schedule, and he said it WILL include hillwork. Good luck to me!
