3 5/4's plus a 4 minutes at 9 mph(6.6min/mile) on 2% incline. Definitely could have done another minute... The pain is different for 5's. More relevant. Simply withstanding the pain is the limiting factor. And worrying I'll get so sloppy I'll fall off the treadmill. Really think these long intervals (with long rests) is what will finally get me setting some PB's. Have found I can do them every other day (all out) without wearing out. One minute intervals and less caused my knee to start bothering me. 2, 3, 4 don't hit certain parts of the body well enough. Not aerobic enough. Too long will wear the body out. Maybe I could do longer than 5 though... But 5 is really really hard and certainly feels like it's working. Haven't tried a time trial yet though.

Almost finished with Words of Radiance. Really liking it. Negatives are I guess slightly soap operaish and sometimes the dialogue gets kind of stupid. But has a lot that is good. Lots of ethics. Think I noticed a plot hole once or twice, but as long and as convoluted as it is, I don't mind.

Once finished I will try yet again to write. But must start with characters. That comes first. Not whatever the hell it is that haunts me.

Hobb named the royalty "Chivalry", "Verity", "Shrewd", "Regal", and the characters could be best described exactly with their names. Think I'll try that. "Duty" and so on.
