Today is supposed to be a cross-training day but it's too cold to ride my bike and I didn't want to go to the gym so I simply ran slow. Target was to keep my HR below 140.

Jeremiah 17:9

9-10 “The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful,
    a puzzle that no one can figure out.
But I, God, search the heart
    and examine the mind.
I get to the heart of the human.
    I get to the root of things.
I treat them as they really are,
    not as they pretend to be.”

Didn't see anything above 141.... Sometimes it's difficult to run slow....especially when you're as fast as you are!

Rye,

I think the 141 was an anomaly. Sometimes the HR monitor doesn't pick up accuruatly at first, when the skin is dry, it will bounce all over the place. It seemed this run was 4 hours :-(
