Runs 5 & 6

Howdy do there!! I am moving along quite well on the program! I am enjoying running quite a bit! I did run #5 while on vay-cay in St. George! Let me tell you this run absolutely sucked for me!! The hotel I was staying at had 2 treadmills. The super duper fancy one was in use when I got to the gym, so I had to use the crappy falling apart one! That was no fun what so ever. The mechanism that held the belt in place was broken and so every time you took a step the belt slipped. I managed about 1/2 of my run on that crappy thing, then the other one was available. I thought this one would be great, but I was wrong. The speeds were all messed up, I put it on 3.0 to walk, and it felt like I was at a 2.0! I put it on 4.0 to run and felt like it was on 5.0! Totally not an enjoyable run that day!! But... I made it throught!

Run #6 was back at home, on my own treadmill! I think I actually professed my undying love for my treadmill on this run! The workout itself was good, calves were burning up a storm and a few times I got winded, but, all in all I was happy! One the last interval I got my speed up to 4.3 which was great! Here are my stats!!

Walking speed 3.0
Jogging speed 4.0
1.5 mile time 26:44
Total time 29:00
Total Distance 1.6 miles!
