Today's goal was to run for 1:30 so I decided to go for 10 miles at 9:00 pace. This run reminded me that I hate to run slow (that's a relative statment). Anyway, 9:00 pace is just not comfortable for me. I achieved the goal and doing so kept my HR, on avg, below 140 which is a recovery HR for me.
34 miles running so far this week, not that I'm counting, but things seem to be good. I will run tomorrow but not Saturday as I have a roping event to go to.
I found a local 5K that's in a couple of weeks. I think I will try and run it to see if I can break the illusive 20:00 goal. I'm not sure fitness wise I'm ready but what the heck, I'll go for it!
My bike is still in the shop so I haven't been able to ride. I wore out the chain and the front sprocket. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next couple of days.

Proverbs 21:19
It is better to live alone in the desert than with a crabby, complaining wife.
Ha ha...this does not describe mine :-) |
