Day number 7; Pretty good incline walk today and then ran a 6.5mph last 10min. I really like this workout. I started at 5° incline at 5mph and then worked down 1° every 5mins. Then at 50min I moved to 6.5mph at 2°. With this workout I am working incline and speed. Good livin’…just keep on movin’

I would support public execution…it is full time this crap stops.

I think that anyone who retires as late as 70 will not have a relaying retire; most die a few years after.
