Now I'll re-evaluate...

I thought that the treadmill was holding me down...that was incorrect.  As you can see, I've lowered my tempo pace to 9:20 (and hence, my target race pace).  I took a potty break at mile 2 of the tempo part (mile 3 overall), and I sorely needed the break.  And although I did the next four miles without a break, I think I might have bitten off more than I can chew at this juncture.

So, rather than hurt myself trying to break two hours for my upcoming mini, I'll settle for besting 2:05 or so.  Maybe I can train down to two hours for the 500 festival mini; I do know that if I hurt myself, I won't be running any minis.
