my exercise

total time 65:45. plan was easy run and speed up last 0.3 miles. feeling better... I am wondering if some of my symptoms were related to salt imbalance. I was not feeling totally fine Sunday but noticed I felt much better after eating some salted pumpkin seeds. today I had gatorade after the run and feel better.  splits 9:32, 9:24, 9:21, 9:28, 9:30, 9:26, 9:05.  average HR 127

total time 56:23. plan was easy run. it was cooler this morning.  splits 9:35, 9:25, 9:24, 9:27, 9:25, 9:07

plan at the beginning of the week was 0.5 mile warm-up followed by a 5.5 miles tempo run in 8:25. last time I did this work-out was a fail. I decided to modify the plan... 2miles warm-up followed by 3 miles tempo run (goal 8:20ish pace) ending with 1 mile cool down. I separated all these on my watch.

warm-up 2 miles- total time 18:39, 3 striders between 1.5 and 2 miles. splits 9:28, 9:11. average HR 114

total time 57:42. plan was easy run. I was pretty sore from yesterday and really had a hard time getting going. Not sure how much this had to do with a mew medication I started for BPH symptoms? splits 10:06, 9:50, 9:52, 9:33, 9:15, 9:07. I stopped at 3.5 miles to stretch a bit and then again at 4.5 miles to change what Iw as listening too. I then pushed it home.

total time 47:19. splits 9:54, 9:27, 9:33, 9:26, 8:58. stopped every miles to regroup. not feeling well. average HR 128 the week previous this 5 mile easy run was done in 46:46 with an average HR of 115).

total time 91:50. I slept really poorly which I atttribute to my new medication. originally the plan for this run was 2 miles warm-up 1 mile hard x 3 with a 1 mile cool down. I ahve been feeling so poorly on this medication that I adjusted the plan to just 2 miles hard- 1 at 5 miles the second at 8 miles. My water bottles had gatorade which is heavier and they kept falling out of my running belt. I stopped twice to pick up bottle. eah time the break did me good. I also had 1 traffic stop prior to the first hard mile. I stopped right after the hard mile for at least a minute then right before the second hard mile for at least a minute. During the last mile I walked for 30 seconds then later for 15 seconds. splits 9:13, 9:15, 9:03, 9:06, 9:06, 8:36, 9:18, 9:32, 8:38, 10:03. average HR 132. previous week when I was mildly ill HR 128.
