Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
9.00	0.00	9.00

8:30 p.m. No switchbacks for a change. I needed a break. Those are doing a lot of good, though. I just ran tonight; a couple miles with my son, then 6 or 7 by myself, easy loping along. .2 miles on a new treadmill. It took 3 hours to set it up, but should have only been 2. The power went out at work, so I got home with time to kill. We killed it, all right. Reading the instructions is a great idea, at least that's what Grace and I discovered. Everybody wanted to help, including Jack. He was walking around with wrenches and screwdrivers, trying to put things together. The only damage was Gus and Anna pulled a curtain rod out of the wall. I got after them too much.

New treadmill? What did you get?

Hey Kam me and my friend Cynthia (that was at the hobblecreek half also) are planning a long run down monte on the hunstville course if you want to meet up with us when we do this. We are shooting for next week. I really wanted to go this week but it may not work out with Cynthias schedule.

I got a C900 Pro Nordic Track, 3 hp motor, up to 12 mph and 15% incline. It's a big step up from what I had.

Angie, that sounds great...so you are talking about Sep. 1st? How many miles? What pace?

I'd rather run on the 2nd half of the course, as I'm not too concerned about rolling down a 2-4% hill. All the twists and turns by the monastery into the finish are new, though.

Wow - you're living the high life now!

From Kam on Thu, Aug 23, 2012 at 11:38:22 from 68.66.163.179

I don't know that I'll spend much time utilizing those speed and incline capabilities. The speed is the less unlikely of the two. Crockett would enjoy a 15% incline...

My favorite thing about it is I won't have any more hearing loss caused by squeaking decks, whirring motors and too loud TVs.

The power is out at my work today but unfortunetely I work at a hospital and they have everything backed up (something about the patients that are on ventilators) which does not mesh well with a free day off! Your day sounds much more exciting!

Rachelle, I guess standards are a lot lower in medical device manufacturing than in actual health care. Andrea, I am sorry for all the injury difficulty you are experiencing.

From AngieB on Thu, Aug 23, 2012 at 12:25:31 from 159.212.71.69

Hey Kam ya sept 1st. I am going to go 7:50 8:00 pace and then try and run full marathon pace the last little bit of it so 6:50 7:00ish but Cynthia is a speed demon so pretty sure her paces will be faster.
