Good 40 minute tempo run in the 'mill. Kept the pace between 6:45 and 6:55 with a 1/4 mile interval every mile at 6:20. At 40 minutes slowed down to 8:20-8:30 or so for 20 more minutes to finish off the hour. Ended up with 8.3 miles for the hour. I guess that's the nice thing about being new to this running thing, I think that's the furthest I've ever run in a hour.
The knee hurt off and on, it's getting better for sure, but still feels a little loose.
A little insight if you happen to be running on public treadmills. If you get on one and it doesn't work, step over at least 2 treamills to start, don't get on the one right next to the broken 'mill, unless you get entertained watching people try to figure out why the treadmill won't start, then look at you like you know somehing about why it isn't working unitl you take off your headphone and say "ya, it's broken". Happened 3 times in a hour, and at least 10 people fiddeled with the thing for like what seemed like a minute or so each. Hilarious. |
