| Not much going on this morning. Just trying to get a good start to the week. Lots of things coming up as August is already almost over... No deer but did see a few other people out.
Avg. 8:36 HR 60? That has to be a mistake.

Avg. 8:02 HR 74? I did try and spook myself so I think the battery might be going...

| Evening run. Started right as the sun was going down. Saw a few dozen bats circling the nearby field. I pushed a few segments of this run. On the way back the deer were out. I saw two solos and a group of 4 for 6 total.
Avg. 7:47 HR 108, no way my heart rate was that low. Will try and get a new battery to see if that makes a difference

| This getting up a little after 4 A.M. thing is working out pretty well. Get in a good run. Get to work and still have an hour or so before other bodies show up. Very productive mornings. That being said nothing special about the run. It was slow. I did not get a chance to test the HR monitor. I have another one laying around so I'll see if I can find it and switch out if my mom's Sea Level theory pans out. It makes sense there is more oxygen in the air so hopefully more goes through the body per heart beat. 3 runners, 3 walkers, and 2 deer this morning...

| Managed to sleep in a little. Started in the light and still saw one deer. Not as many other people out as I would have expected but it was very humid this mornig. This marks my longes run and highest mileage week since the marathon.
Avg. 8:24 HR "72" I really need to find the other heart strap...
