It was very warm today and I loved it for the entire duration of my
long run. Rather than focus on any specific pace I tried letting my
heart rate guide my effort with a target of 70% HRR.
9.03 mi in 01:54:32 @ 12:41/mi burning 957 calories with HRavg of 159bpm.

I am confident I could finish a half marathon now if required but I
have 3 full months to get stronger and improve slowly. Looking forward
to my first 10 miler in a few weeks.

| | Today was a leg stretcher run in that my only goal was to stretch out the legs after yesterday's long run. A fierce north wind weakened my resolve to go very far or for very long. 1.95 mi in 22:14 @ 11:24/mi with 155bpm burning 241 calories.
I did a few faster intervals, trying to push my cardio system a bit but my right shin didn't care for that silliness.

| | The temperatures climbed to a reasonable level today and the wind dropped low enough that I felt I could risk a run. I have been enjoying the late afternoon and early evening runs through the Elmer Thomas Park so I returned there today.

| | Life got busy yesterday and I couldn't get my scheduled tempo run squeezed between a roofing estimate and darkness. As a result I had to make up the run today: 7 mi with 5 mi @ 11:32/mi was the goal.
7.01 mi in 01:22:04 @ 11:43/mi burning 884 calories.
