55:52 ==>7:59 per mile. I ran the treadmill today. First mile around 9 minutes, next 3 at 8 minutes, next at 7:30, the next got down to 6:58 for about a half mile, but then I thought I should probably be going slower so I went up to 7:30, and then the last mile varied between 8 and 8:30 pace. I felt fine, but I got a little bored. The TV monitor is to the side of the treadmill, so it is difficult to stay on the treadmill and watch TV. A guy next to me was trying to watch TV and ended up falling off the treadmill. So it gets a little boring, and the best way to entertain myself was to change around the speed a little, although today was supposed to be a slow run. In other exciting news, a skunk must be living in our crawl space under the house because we woke up this morning to an awful smell. We got someone to come out and set up traps. Apparently it's skunk mating season. You learn something new every day.... |
