(Dinner last night: big salad w/ all sorts of stuff in it, some Kashi with peanut butter and honey on top & watermelon.) 6 hours of sleep (stayed up to watch some of the VMAs on MTV - afterall it was the VMAs 25th anniversary!), no toast this morning, two minute warm-up, then on my favorite treadmill at 5:40 a.m. next to Lisa. Ran two miles in 19:05, walked 1 minute, ran to 3 miles, walked 1, ran to 4 miles, walked 1, ran to 5, walked 2 minutes, then ran to 6 miles in 57:35. Average HR: 167. Average speed: 6.1 mph. Got up to 8 mph. Stayed mostly around 6.3 mph. It was very humid, but legs and lungs were fine. A guy two treadmills over had a loss of balance and began to fall off but thankfully caught himself, which brought me back to that fateful Monday afternoon in May 2006 in which I fell forward on a 8.5 mph treadmill (back when I could run fast) and severely loss skin on both shins and knees. Not fun, and pretty shocking at the time. A visual now, for those who missed seeing these in '06:
