It seems like Monday is the day for the gym. I can't seem to get there any other days. Today was a pace day so I went to the good old hot gym (no AC when I got there, it was 80 degrees outside and I'm sure the same inside the gym...but with no breeze). Ran 1/2 mile warm-up and then maxed the machine at a blistering 7:30 pace (oh...did I tell you - that's the top speed the treadmills are set to). It's interesting to look at my heart rate and how it goes up so evenly after the first mile 145,147,149,151... exactly 2 BPM each mile. This is the actual readings. I would think, and was hoping, it would level out at some point and I could maintain a constant HR. I'm thinking this is telling me that my long distance marathon pace cannot be 7:30 but something slower where my HR levels off at a certain speed.

Proverbs 31: 9b-31
The Wife of Noble Character
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
6 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
"Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate |
