Total Distance

10.00

I ran @ 9 a.m. @ the gym w/Alana, Curt and his running buddies. This is my first time to record any run, so I'm excited to use this new tool for the new year! I hadn't run 10 miles since September due to my IT-Ban giving me grief. I was nervous and it was hard at mile 8, but it was nice to have encouragement from friends out doing the same thing, each at our own level. My average speed was about 6.7 (no lower than 6.5 or higher than 7.0). I also learned (thanks Jeff) that I should have my incline on a treadmill no lower than 1.5. So I played with that today as well.

Over all, I will sleep well tonight!

Wow Jeff! Pretty soon you're going to have the entire city (town?) of Idaho Falls on the blog!
