First treadmill run ever. I stood on the side while I ramped up the speed to 5.2 mph. then ran for 30:03. So the distance started counting before I actually started running (the difference between my watch and the TM was about 45 seconds). I stopped running at 2.6 miles and don't really know how far it went before I got on, so there is a little estimating on the distance. Next time I will ramp it up while I run. Some people on the blog are compulsive about stopping running on even numbers. I don't have that affliction, but it does drive me a little crazy not to have the distance exactly correct and I don't like that I can't just start the treadmill at the speed I want. Maybe I can find some reset button or something. It took quite a ways before my HR reached my normal training zone and then at the end of the run I had to keep bumping it down until it got to 4.9 or 4.8 because my hr got high. I was surprised to see my average HR at only 153. It seemed like I ran quite a ways at around 163. I had wanted to run 3.1, but I think I will have to build up to that. Oh, and my right toe went numb again. If anyone has any ideas on what could be causing that I would love to hear them.
The new gym at work is nice. I was a little worried it would be packed the first day, but only 5 of the 12 treadmills were in use. I don't know how some of you folks run for hours at a time on one of these things.
