ICE skated to the rec center ever so carefully--  AP for "warm up"  3 @ 9:14.  Did one of those leg out and up and to the side to an almost crash slide on my back but managed to stay upright just after I felt it might be safe to pick up the pace.  Lots of black ice lurking under the skiff of a snow fall on the frozen ground.  Wasn't worth going any faster.  I tried to relax after that but I remained too cautious.  Ran 8 miles on the TM at 2% grade at AP 7:46.  One mile  acutally was at 1% near the end then I went back up to 2% sprinting at 10 mph to beat 62 minutes  (60 minute TM Cut off time with the allotted cooldown preprogramed by the rec) on the TM, missed it by 8 seconds so I had to wait for the TM to reboot to get in a few more "steps" to get 8 miles!!  ARGHH!!!.  NEXT TIME!!!      also did arms-- biceps (2 types), triceps (2 types), flies, shoulder raises, rows.  2 sets of 10- 12.  Troy wanting to leave.  He ran 6 miles on the TM!!!  I have a headache.  And my cheeks are going numb and tingly (not from the cold).  Yesterday  I put on some earrings for the first time in years and wore them all day.  I am allergic to some metals...After itching a lot yesterday, .I awoke today with puffy cheeks and a swollen eyelid.  Hence the numb cheeks.  Still no more earrings for me.

nice treadmill work! I found out I was allergic to gold when I had a reaction to my engagement ring! My poor husband! We had to get the ring coated with hypoallergenic metal!

Sorry to hear about your allergic reaction. Very nice TM run - even if the darn thing shut down on you! I bet 10MPH is the max speed the TM went. If it went any higher you would have beat the cutoff.
