Kevin and I finally hooked up for a morning run, but Larry was a "no show" this time. The temperature was in the upper 30's but a breeze made it feel colder.

Our pace started slow. It picked up a little the last couple of miles, but neither of us felt very fast this morning. We averaged 8:17/mi overall, warming up a mile or so at around an 8:50 pace, averaging around 8:20 for most of the run, and ending at 7:36/mi.

I wore a heart rate monitor for the first time on this run. My heart rate was around 160 for most of the run, rising to around 180 when we pushed harder the last couple of miles.

What kind of heart rate monitor are you using? I usually wear one on my tempo and long runs and during races.

Omron HR-100C. It was on sale for a little over $30 at Amazon. It felt pretty comfortable during the run and seemed to work well. It would be nice to have something like the Garmin 305 to get a log of my heart rate for the entire run, but this is good enough for now.
