Wow you run fast compared to me. But I'm only 5'2", my treadmill at the gym is set on 3.6 mph. Maybe your legs cover more distance. I found the first time I ran with my Lab, I went faster and had trouble finishing and my poor old knees hurt. I'm working on endurance now, speed will come in the second nine weeks. I hope.
Sue - Yes, but I was laughing, so I will classify it as a stunt. After slowing from 7.6, 3.3 felt awfully slow. Turns out it was still much faster than the carpet.
Splash - My typical pace is 5.3 mph, but several have suggested that I slow down. And they might be right - my legs haven't quite been able to cash the check my lungs have written. If that makes any sense.

Did you actually fall??
