4 miles in 30:11, 7:32/mi, HR 159.  Everything feels good but HR still high for the effort.  Hopefully it will come back down over the next couple of weeks.  Expanded core workout after the run.

3 miles in 21:47, 7:16/mi, HR 153.  Felt a bit of yesterday's core workout in my legs today but not bad.  HR back down in the normal ranges, given the pace for today's run.  Some additional limited core work today.

Off day, so I did a bunch of core exercises to torture myself.

4.25 miles in 30:34, 7:12/mi, HR 163.  Evidentlym after an off day, my legs are raring to go but my heart has forgotten how to pump efficiently, as noted by the pace and average HR, respectively.  Fortunately, I get to run again tomorrow.

4.25 miles in 31:04, 7:18/mi, HR 161.  Windy.  No rain yet as most appears to be north of us but flood warnings are in effect, so I ran earlier today.  The winds were about 10-12 MPH headwinds uphill, so on the downhill parts the air was virtually still.  Tomorrow is supposed to be very wet...fortunately for me its another off day.

6 miles in 44:08, 7:21/mi, HR 169.  Overcast with some light rain but fairly warm (55F).  Legs recovered:  check.  Breathing easy:  check.  Heart Rate:  sky high.  What's up with that?  It hit 182 (or 193 max) at one point and I couldn't really tell that my HR was high aside from looking at my watch.  The correlation between my HR and mileage is crazy.

What's even crazier is that Penn State just *lost* to Iowa by 1 stinking point.  Feels like 2005 when we lost to Michigan by 2 points with 2 seconds left and blew our chance at a perfect season.  Fortunately, my wife wasn't home so I didn't upset her with my screaming at the TV trying to get our defense to stiffen up as Iowa marched down the field during the last couple of minutes.....she *really* doesn't like it when I do that.  C'est la vie.
