Both my Buckeyes and I got a nasty reality check last night. In the Buckeyes' case, the better team won. Rats.
In my case, for the first time this year, I went outside to run. Holy Moly. I expected a significant difference between running on a treadmill and running outside, but I did not expect such a huge difference between running on an indoor track and running outside. Sheesh.
My total time for my run/walk session last night was suppose to last 1:18; instead, I went 52 minutes before calling it quits. Even though I was running on the streets, I felt like I was running in mud. I am sooooo slow. Clearly, running on the outside terrain, even with very minimal slopes, is a whole lot different than running on an indoor track. Not sure how I forgot that. The whole thing has called into question my goal of completing a half-marathon this October. Well, I'm not giving up, but I may have to adjust the goal. In the meantime, it's back to the drawing table to see if I can devise a different schedule to reach my October goal.
ORN: total time= 52' (45" R/ 135" W X 17)

I feel your pain about the buckeyes!
It is tough to go outside in the spring/. Hang in there -it is worth it.
No back to the drawing boards.
Back to the track!
You can do it!
