Started at 6.8mph (8:49) and added 0.2 after each mile with the last at 7.8 (7:41).  Average came out to 8:13.  Changing things up a little (something different every mile) helps me get through the 6 TM miles easier, I think.  Soon I will be up to 7...soon...

The Army guys at the gym (I'm at an Army camp) all seem to like to hop on the TM, sprint until they're red in the face for 10-15 minutes, then get off.  I had like 3 of em use the TM to my right in the 50 or so minutes I was on.  I think they probably like to show the slow Air Force guy how it's done - we have to wear PT clothes that represent our branch so I stick out a bit.

Hey, I'm in training here, everyone else can stick it... Actually there are always a dozen or so empty so I don't feel bad at all.

You can have my TM if they run out.

Way to show them how it is done.

Haha they showed you...NOT! Way to go--that is what I like to do--start out and then start inching it up by increments.
