After yoga class I jumped on the treadmill to walk a mile while I watched the news about Michael Jackson death today. Sad!! I then ran a mini ladder series on the treadmill by starting at a 6.0 mph. Every 0.2 miles I upped the speed 0.5 mph. After the 7.5 mph, I slowed it back down to 6.0 and then ramped it up to 8.0 with a 6.0 finish. I walked 0.5 miles but left in a hurry because some whacked-out lady came in the room, and changed all the channels to MASH. I told her to leave my TV alone, but she was determined to watch MASH!!! SHe is mental for sure!!!! I should have pushed the eject button on her treadmill! But then I would have felt guilty all night.... glad I just left!
I went home to finish my run. I ran the trail for 4 miles and back through the neighborhood to get my 5 miles. My pace averaged out to 8:32. |
