4 Mile Run -- (A)

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- Another run at the Y, but this one certainly worked fine with the new style. I crank the grade up a bit to 1 percent and that helps get the lean going a bit. This was fine. I like the treadmill from time to time to switch things up.

Got up to 8.3 I think by the end. Was able to hold steady. But started at 7.3 so the time wasn't eye-popping. Considering the shape I'm in, I'm happy with being able to hit these speeds for extended periods. I think it was sub-8s overall, but I have no idea. Only measured the 5K which was almost half slow uphill, half faster uphill then even.

5K -- 25:32

2 Mile Run

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- Ran a couple jokers on the treadmill at the Y to see how the new style works on it. Book said it wouldn't work well. I think it worked fine. We'll see.

Hadn't been on a treadmill in some time. So this was mostly a test. Really trying to get more steady, more miles, more days.
