Six miles on the treadmill in 59 minutes. I started slow to warm up. I started at 5 for 5 minutes, and then worked my way up to 6.5 by increasing 0.1 mph every 75 seconds. I held at 6.5 for 30 minutes and then gradually dropped down to 6.0 to finish. I could only stay at 6.5 for 15 minutes a week ago. 6.5 is a 9:13 pace. Next time I run on the treadmill, I'll work up to 6.7 (just under 9 mm) and see how long I can hold that. I was sore after my last run. My shins/calves are tightening up again. I think I need to start doing my stretching routine. I'd gotten away from it because I wasn't having as much trouble when I got in the thick of marathon training. I should keep it up. It was working wonders on my hamstrings. It would be nice to lengthen those things out a bit.
