endurance day, treadmill technical problems

the treadmill really, really hated me today. it just so happens that the "stop program" button on the treadmill is in line with the natural motion of my arms when i take a stride. i was doing the 5k program, and 17:14 into my run, i hit the stop button. i restarted it manually and 5 minutes into that program, hit the stop button. i was saying "shit" a lot and i'm sure the people next to me thought i had tourrets. after that i just ran a mile at 6.4 mph and then stopped.

anyway, i went 3.36 miles in 32:11. not bad, and more than i had planned to do, seeing as how i started out with a 5k program... the incline varied from 0.0 - 6.4, which pretty challenging at times. tomorrow is the last day of this cycle and i think i'm going to take a week to rest. i'll probably do some light running and abs next week, but i'm not sure. we'll see.
