Newtone - 7.25 miles in 70 minutes. Couldn't go much faster because my heart rate was up (120 before I even got on the mill). Wore my heartrate monitor. Apparently I was running about 180BPM for 70 minutes, which just doesn't make sense. I guess I will use it more of a fitness guage (where I am still ~3 weeks from any workouts). Did about 7 minutes at 4 % incline.

2 mile total walk commute.

Do you have a cold?

No, just out of shape and the gym is not cool. Getting in shape in ~18-19 weeks to run something in the 2:4x range at Boston will be difficult but it is possible. I think. I am not really interested in running a marathon unless I am in PR shape. 10lbs lighter at the start line would shave several minutes off the same mileage and workouts. I'm working it pretty seriously.

8:15-8:30 is appropriate easy pace on the roads right now, which is fine. I don't care if I run 8:40 or 7:20 for my easy runs, I need to hit my workouts, which are sadly a three weeks away.

You can see why I am grumpy:

That's an 8-mile AT tempo 3-3.5 weeks from Indy Monumental.
