Ran  repeats:  10 m/m for 3 min: 9 m/m 30 seconds : 7:30 for 15 seconds.

However, on my mile 4 repeat sprints I jumped off the treadmill (instead of stopping the machine) to run to the bathroom.  I had the TV up really loud in the 6 am darkness and so when I went to get back on the treadmill--I stepped an unsuspecting foot onto the treadmill that was running almost 9 miles an hour (I'd forgotten I didn't turn it off).  I don't know exactly what happened but I have burned off skin from the top of my right hand/forearm and my right shoulder blade (just below the scapula).  I have a perfectly round 2x2 inch bruise on my left shoulder and a really sore right butt cheek/hip.  As I lay in the darkness after having been spit off the machine (having rolled once or twice?) trying to determine if anything was seriously damaged I had to laugh and wonder what that must have looked like.  

Finished my run just fine, except I didn't know about the rubbed off skin until the sweat started up again: ouchy.
