Great treadmill run today! I thought my knees felt better so I gave it a shot and tried to keep the pace down. My knees didn't hurt at all and I was able to get one full hour in. I really like the treadmill for controlling the incline. Every 8-10 min I would change the incline to 2.5 and keep in there for 5 min. I liked the steady pace and incline adjustment to simulate small hills. Still pretty shocked by how my heart rate seems to spike quickly when I start running. Today it was up high for the first 5 min but went down after I settled into it.

Mine spikes to bro! Crazy numbers come up when I first start and then as my breathing settles in so does the old blood pumper.

Good to see you guys are doing Yoga. Good for injury prevention and seriously who likes to stretch? You get all in one day...
