On the treadmill - 4 x 3 miles @ 6:30 pace with 800 rest - 2 mile w/u and 2 mile c/d. This was a tough workout - more so mentally I think than physically, perhaps because it was on the treadmill. I switched from a regular treadmill for two of the reps to a Woodway - which I usually like, but I noticed my left calf felt a little tweaked as well as the back of my right knee, so I switched back to the regular treadmill for the last rep. Was watching the Gators game against UCLA - which turned out well for Florida while I was doing the workout.

Took me a minute to decipher the w/u, c/d code. I'm a little slow.

Nice run. A workout like that "in the bank" can only help.

Thanks Rob - I thought those were universal running abbreviations!
