Feeling pretty peppy the day after the relay

Course: 1% Treadmill
Distance:4.56 miles
Duration: 40:00
Pace: 8:47 / mile

I started this workout at 6.5 mph (9'13" pace) and tried to speed up every 4 minutes.  My last minute I ran at 9.4 mph (6'23" pace)

My blister is actually feeling pretty good as well (used two Band Aid advanced healing blister bandages last night and through the run today).

I'm still targeting 40 miles for the week, with an 18 mile long run on Saturday.
