Ran 2.23 in 26.21 AHR 155, 76% of max, HR Range 148-163, 22:18 in zone, peak 167, cal 617 based on 232 lbs. 11.49 pace. I have been running consistently for just shy of a month. I started out with a 1.92 mile run, then a 2.23 mile run, then a 2.51 mile run. Now that I plan on running 6 days a week I plan on going back to the 1.92 mile run. But on Saturday I figure I can run longer because I have an extra day of rest. So I planned on doing the 2.51 mile run. But my hip was hurting, so I decided to do the 1.92 mile run, then I decided it didn't hurt that bad, so I ended up doing 2.23 miles. Apparently I have no concept of how fast i am really going. It was cool, but the sun was out. The radiant affect of the sun seems to have a big impact on my perceived effort. I felt like I was going much slower than yesterday and walking much more, but I ran farther at a lower pace. How I ended up with a lower pace baffels me. Not that I am complaining. I am very happy to have it come in under 12 mpm. Well I am off to a Valentines day dinner.
