Breaking in a Yaris?

Hey everybody,
I got my 07 liftback last week and I've been wondering about the break in period. I've been trying to stay under 3500 rpm but with no tach I'm a little lost. Where I live in upstate NY it's pretty hilly and sometimes I stretch 3rd gear out to 65 mph or so (very briefly). Any idea how many revs I'm running when I do that? I read in another post that the Yarii run about 3K rpm in overdrive at 70 mph, so I'm guessing at least 4.5-5k in 3rd gear at 65?
I usually shift 1-2 almost immediately
2-3 around 25 mph
3-4 anywhere between 40 and 65 mph
Is this fine for the break in or should I be driving even more conservatively?
