AM: With the hectic schedule and sore knee I'm thinking doubles this week. It is easier on the body and time to get in the miles that way... I ended up working until 11pm then up for a commute run in. Nothing special very easy and relaxing. Avg. 9:47 HR 145

PM: The day was ok. Knee felt better this evening. Going to go to sleep early tonight and catch up a little on the sleep... Avg. 7:48 HR 143 (2 min per mi faster about the same HR...)

Out of bed before moving around or coffee it is usually in the high 40s low 50s. When I'm sleep deprived I notice it is much higher while running.
