6.75 Miles on the Treadmill

Exercise
I ran on the treadmill at the community center again.  I started at 6.5 mph and 1.0 incline. Then every 5 minutes I added one mph until I was running 7.2 mph. Then I dropped down to 7 for another 5 minutes and then walked a bit (10 minutes?) and then finished up at 6.5 again.  The machine said I burned 1,000 calories.  I could have done better but at the 35 minute mark I started getting a pain in my shoulder and needed to walk until it went away (which it did pretty quickly).

Nutrition
Oatmeal for breakfast.  Fruit (clementines) as a 10:00 snack.  Left over Kung Pao chicken for lunch followed by a banana and an apple in the afternoon.  I felt like I had enough fuel for my run today. :)

Health
Nothing of note.  The pain in my shoulder when I was running was probably tension from being on the computer all day at work.  I'll need to stretch out my shoulders more during the day.

Equipment
I ordered two pairs of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11s today.  Size 11.5 in 2E width.  Black on black.  I went to a shoe store in Reston yesterday and had my stride analyzed and tried on about 5 pairs of shoes with support for my pronation.  Of all the shoes the Brooks were clearly the best.  I look forward to breaking them in.
