Sunday 050309

Treadmill.  Started at 7% grade and upped the grade a percent every mile until I got to 15% – so through 9 miles.  Never ran “over the top” but had a good sweat going.  Five miles was at 46 minutes, but things got slower at the higher grades, so the next four were at 45 minutes.  Finished off with four miles flat (0.5% grade).  Felt good.  Still hacking but it is definitely clearing.  13 miles, 1:59.

  2. Beth - that is a 9000 dollar treadmill! Holy crap! Have you cranked that bugger to 30 percent? 15% brings me to a crawl! Hope your weekend with the Green Flash was a good one!

  3. I'd blow a gasket for sure running at 15%... sounds like things are taking a turn for the better.
