Running Day 17
I tried something new on the treadmill this morning. The treadmills at the gym at my apartment show your running progress in quarter-mile laps. So after my first warm-up lap, I increased the speed by 1/10 mph every minute. So when I hit 4 minutes of running, I went from 5.4 mph to 5.5 mph. I know it sounds like no big deal, but it actually kind of helped to break up the mile (which really shouldn't be too necessary as it took all of 10 minutes 45 seconds to finish, but whatever) and the longer I went, the faster the laps went by as well. It wasn't easy, to be honest, but I think I'll try to keep doing that and maybe get faster and better along the way.
