So I haven't been as lazy as it may appear, just really busy.Wednesday: I ran for 30 minutes in mines falls and after I got home and showered I noticed that there were 3 deer in our backyard.
Thursday: Playing frisbee, I smashed up my shin pretty good when I was running to catch the frisbee and ran into a picknick table. :)
Friday: I was going to go running after we did a flight experiment early in the morning. But decided to buy a really big breakfast while my group was waiting for our turn to go up in the plane and proceeded to throw it all back up after we did a series of 3 stalls.Satureday: Ran the 4.25 mile route with heartbreak hill that me and Cara did before in 32:12 which is about 2 minutes faster than when I ran it a month ago. I still don't understand how going from 3.2 miles to 4.25 added 10 minutes to my time. Oh well, I guess the treadmill is a little bit flatter then my route was.

What incline do you use on the treadmill? I've read that you should add at least 1.0 to simulate flat real running. Basically, I think it's too easy to "cheat" (if you're a bouncy runner and spend a lot of time in the air, and you're going at a high speed, the treadmill will whip around ticking away the miles while you're just jumping up and down.)
Last weekend day for a long run before BSR!
peter, i always use at least a 1.0 incline on the treadmill as well. i don't think 8min miles is going to happen this year. i just haven't been running enough. i'm going to stick with danelle. nate just signed up for the marathon. he's crazy. you should probably do it with him so i won't have to. i love the vomit story. can't wait until you guys come. (ps picnic, saturday)
Whos Piter? We are going on a picnic saturday cara??? I thought we were watching you spike v-balls in peoples faces? I will use a 1.0 incline next time I run on treadmill but its a trade off for me cause I can't take my full length stride so I lose any time I gain by being a bouncy runner. lol, this is why treadmills are stupid.
