Age is just a number.

Day off.

Busy unpacking and re-organizing.

AM-Easy 4.5 miles. No watch.

PM-Easy 4 miles. No time recorded. Finally got around to getting some batteries for the old monitor strap and receiver and went by heart rate; (around 120-130 bpm range)  Tomorrow I'm going to fix up the old Polar monitor. The problem is that they manufactured the strap to be sealed permanently, then that way they force you to send it in and be charged a scad of money. However I've discovered a way around that.. It involves a good old Dremel tool and some electrical heat shrink tubing:)  

AM-Read scriptures early this morning and logged 8 miles mainly around 70% mhr and a little higher on the hills. Overall kept things easy again this morning.  7th east Ft Union.

AM-Progressive tempo run for 3 miles from 156-180 bpm. Maxed at 184 bpm according to the HRM. Very hard effort at the end but not entirely all out. I'm guessing my max is about 180-186? bpm. Only a true controlled test will find out. Intend to do that sometime soon hopefully. 7 miles total. 5:20-5:27/MI at .5% incline. Man I'm out of shape..

PM-Easy 4 mile recovery jog with stride outs.  Decided this evening to rewatch the HBO mini-series "John Adams" in the spirit of our nation's birthday tomorrow. This is one of my favorites for sure:)  Paul Giamatti is awesome in this one..

Went out for a 4 mile broiler run at 1pm or so. No watch just jogged easy. Spending the rest of the day going through a math course. Been working on this for the last week or so to get my math skills up and then who knows maybe one day I'll get back to school and actually get some education. What a novel idea..

Steady state run on 7th/13th east. 90 degrees F. Getting used to running in the heat somewhat now.
