This was a cloud run- the low hanging fog made visibility poor. I ran to Freedom Hills, did four laps around the loop and came back for spot on 8 miles. The park section was marred by a stupid dog. After languishing on the treadmill for most of my recent runs, it was good to get outside and breathe the fresh air. I think my treadmill is not calibrated correctly. I wore the heartrate monitor on this run to verify my suspicions. 7:39, 7:15, 7:41, 8:56 (lazy walking up the hill) 7:42, 7:29, 7:33, 7:29. For the first couple miles, my heartrate was in the 165 +/- 5 range. The remaining miles it settled down to 150 +/- 5. Merry Christmas Eve! Running today or tomorrow?
