AM - 8.54 mi, 1:23:32, 9:47 avg, HR 115 avg, 138 max
Ran with Jamie in the neighborhood and by the golf course, starting at 6:00. Usually run at Longleaf with the Striders on Thursday at 5:30 but thought that 6:00 sounded a little better and this was probably the only chance for Jamie to run outside. We were doing a conversational pace (but I wasn't looking at my pace and did not have the heart rate set up on the display), then we stopped at the drinking fountain. I turned the heart rate display back on and saw my HR was below the 121-131 goal range, but was at 114. So, sped up a little bit. It's nice now that my heart rate actually says I'm doing an easy pace when I think I am.
Decided to not do all 10 miles this morning since I'm planning on doing at least two miles (maybe 3) on the treadmill at the Y tonight so I can practice some stead downhill running - longer than what I could do on any hill I could find around here.
PM - 3.04 mi, 24:08, 7:56 avg
Ran on the treadmill at the Y after 10 minute bike warmup and 3 sets of leg extensions. Did two minutes warmup and then 20 minutes at -2% decline gradually going to 7:35 pace, followed by 1% incline at same pace, then 1 minute slow. Hopefully this will help a little bit for the downhill at the Super Tunnel Marathon coming up on 8/21
