Personal:

I'm a happily married guy with a 5 year old son. I started running on February 1st, 2010 with the goal of completing a triathlon (my one and only "official" race prior to that was the "Centerville half mile fun run" when I was about 8) In that following year I lost nearly 50 lbs, completed the triathlon, numerous 5Ks, 10Ks, bike races, and really started to lean towards running over the other two (though I still cross train with both).

I grew up hiking and riding horses in the mountains, so I've been drawn to take my running to the trails - and haven't looked back! I run them every chance I get, which is about 90% of the time!

As nice of a day as it turned out to be, I didn't get a chance to go for a run. But since I haven't run since Friday, I had to go ahead and hit up the Treadmill. Haven't been on that for a while! The thing that does make it a little more bearable is the Jillian Michaels iFit SD card that I throw in there and she controls the workout. Keeps it challenging and therefore more interesting. 

 5 miles, 40 minutes, 5%-9% incline, 6-8.5 mph

That's a pretty fast pace to run it in that time. Nice job.

I decided that when I get another treadmill, I'll have to get one that goes above 10%...the incline just didn't seem to bother me too bad - the higher speeds were a little tougher, but that's a good thing.
