| | Well, I finally got my Garmin with heartrate monitor in the mail. I used it today on the treadmill, just to check my heart rate over the course of the run. By the time I was finished and looking at my average/max heart rate....i realized I have no idea what I am looking at. I need to study up on heart rates. Anybody have a quick basic gist of what to look for when analyzing your heart rate? |

| | I did today's run much slower than I have before. I have been trying to read up on Heart Rate running and what not and what I have read has basically said that I need to run a little slower to keep my heart rate down to get a better aerobic workout. So today I did my 4 miles in about 34:20 or so. My average heart rate was 165 BPM. I think that is still kind of high, but then again I am at 7,300ft elevation. Hopefully that isn't horrible though, I think I am in better shape than that. |

| | A good run. Felt okay, but then I am running quite a bit slower. I ran about an 8:25 pace and had an average HR of 163. I am thinking that elevation is having a big effect on my HR, but then 7300ft will do that I'm sure. |

| | Good run today. About an 8:20 pace with an average BPM of 159. I think that is a good range for me, especially with the altitude. |

| | A good run today. I wasn't able to turn the fan on myself so I was sweating up a storm! Because of that, and the fact I was on the dang metric treadmill my heart rate was up quite a bit. The average for my 5k was 165BPM. At about the 5k point, I decided I would try and figure out what my Max HR is. So, as best you can on a treadmill, I pushed the speed to about what I thought I could handle without falling off and kept that speed for 1 minute, then I cooled back down for a couple of minutes (probably too long) and then sped back up for another minute. Looking at my watch afterwords it said 187 as my max. Anyway, I don't think 1 minute was enough, and I think I rested a bit too long. Also looking at my watch for my 5k time, I just noticed that my MHR shows 190 BPM. All that work and I still wasn't able to figure out what I wanted to...

| | Today was a good longer run. Did a 10k and get my pace around an 8:30. My heart rate seemed to be a little lower today than usual, so hopefully there is a little bit of improvement. I leave today for FOB Shank to take over my platoon. Battle Co. 2d platoon, a very storied platoon for their last deployment. There is a documentary and book written about them from the last deployment. The documentary is called "Restrepo" and the book is called "War", written by Sebastian Junger. Check it out for a quick, intense read. Apparently elevation there at Shank is about 1,000ft lower (6,300ft), so hopefully that will be a help.
