Conundrum...

I want to increase my speed.
Pretty much everything I've read says that one of the easiest ways to increase speed is:

to lose weight.

Well, that is helpful.

I think I will have to just put some patience pants on (which I DO NOT OWN), and tough it out.

Still depressing. 

I hate running on the treadmill. It sucks.  Today I tried interval training (another way to increase speed), and with the tv on the treadmill not working, and me wanting to die during the "work" intervals, I wanted to poke my eyes out.
Here is what I did:

Interval	How to Run
Warm up	Slowly jog for 5 minutes.
Work Interval	3 minutes at 20 seconds faster than your 5K race pace
Rest Interval	Recover (easy pace) for 3 minutes.
Work Interval	3 minutes at 20 seconds faster than your 5K race pace
Rest Interval	Recover (easy pace) for 3 minutes.
Work Interval	3 minutes at 20 seconds faster than your 5K race pace
Rest Interval	Recover (easy pace) for 3 minutes.
Work Interval	3 minutes at 20 seconds faster than your 5K race pace
Rest Interval	Recover (easy pace) for 3 minutes.
Work Interval	3 minutes at 20 seconds faster than your 5K race pace
Rest Interval	Recover (easy pace) for 3 minutes.
Cool down	Slowly jog for 5 minutes.

*Please note that my "20 seconds faster than...5K race pace" is pretty pathetic.  And it was STILL REALLY HARD FOR ME.
