Colchester Pond & Lost Nation Road. Another disastrous run. I turned on my HR alarm in an attempt to keep my easy days easy. I also forced myself to run extremely slow; like I was waiting for a buddy to catch up after he stopped to tie his shoe. It didn't help. I ended up walking several times along the way. I felt like this once before decades ago. Then, I self diagnosed/medicated with iron supplements and the symptoms went away. This time around I'm asking the doctor to perform a blood test to see if I'm anemic. I've noticed my energy level has dropped over the last month and my long runs have become increasingly difficult, regardless of the pace.
10.17 miles. 1:28:32. 8:42/mile. 142 BPM.
