B pup went in for her spay today. Poor little girl was pretty out of it all night and looked pitiful. But surgery went well and we don't have to worry about little ones now. No activity for 10 days is going to be awfully painful for her (and us).

5.430.005.43

AM: 5.43 mi in 11:00 avg pace. Goal: 60 mins no higher than 150. Avg heart rate: 144, Max heart rate: 168. Min elevation: 8,252'; Max elevation: 8,554'; 700' gain/loss. Really hard to keep heart rate under 150 on the hills. Ran with L pup. Chilly and windy morning run. 

B pup seems to be recovery really well. She was already pouncing on L pup this morning and ate her full breakfast without issue. Going to be a long 10 days for her without any hiking/running/playing. And she has to wear the dreaded cone.. poor girl.

7.290.007.29

AM: 7.29 miles in 10:20 avg pace. Goal: 75 mins at 145-150. Right away I realized this probably was going to be difficult for me this morning since my heart rate was already ~90 when I started the run (probably too much coffee and dehydrated from 4 hour meeting last night in which I again forgot my water bottle). However, the garmin was returning heart rate data that was all over the place. It would spike to 165 and then drop to 100. On the final ascent towards home it was giving me readings of 80-95 (impossible since my heart rate even walking is 130 up the steep hill). So, the heart rate data is crap for today. Even though I couldn't get an accurate heart rate reading, I still ran pretty easy. My stomach was a bit off and I knew I was dehydrated. Min elevation: 8,249'; Max elevation: 8,584'; 634' gain/loss.

7.320.007.32

AM: 7.32 in 10:22 avg pace. Goal: 75 mins at 145.

Unfortunately, my heart rate again was pretty high this morning. Not really sure what is going on with that. My heart rate was immediately in the 165-170 range running slowly up the hills. Usually it's in the 150-155 range if I'm running slowly. Maybe I have a slight bug or something. I have been feeling pretty tired and worked lately. Avg heart rate: 154, Max heart rate: 176. Min Elevation: 8,251'; Max elevation: 8,575'; 878 gain/loss. Anyways, ran the usual subdivision loop(s) with L pup and one of the neighbor pups decided to run with us today. She's a sweetie; part great pyrenees and probably part pit bull. Although, she looks a lot like a great dane. B pup and L pup really adore her.
