5 Mile Treadmill Run in 39:47

I had not run since last Tuesday because of a pretty rough 36 hour stomach bug that I came down with on Wednesday afternoon. I am now fully over the bug, so I went for a 5 mile run after waking up this morning. I started the treadmill off slow (7.0), but then realized after about 2 miles that I wanted to finish the 5 mile run under 40 minutes. To do this, I upped the speed up quickly and barely made it under th 40 minute mark. I ended up finishing the 5 mile run in 39:47 for an average pace of 7:57/mile. According to nikeplus I burned 690 calories.

5.01 Mile Treadmill Run in 38:23



Went downstairs to take my second run on our new treadmill. I wanted to see if I could get in 5 solid miles and challenge the time of 40:54. The good news is that I finished the 5 mile run in 38:23 and it registered on the challenge I have with Scott. The bad news is that before the run I recalibrated the IPOD because it had me running slower than normal, but now I think it is actually calculating me going faster than normal because after 5.01 mile run, the treadmill only said 4.86 (which you'd think the treadmill is the gospel truth). I worked hard by ranging the treadmill speed between 7.5 - 8.5 for the entire duration of the run. I ended up finishing the 5.00 mile run in 38:23 for an average pace of 7:40/mile.
