Yeah! I am back! Tonight I ran with my husband on the Phoenix Bridle Path, one of our favorite places to run. It was very humid, but much cooler than normal (about 85 degrees). We finished in 45:13, a 9:02 pace overall. I finished the first half in 22:41 and ran the second half in 22:32. I always try to run the second half faster, and the bridle path is slightly uphill on the return. Anyway, my heart rate was around 170 at the end and back down to 120 within about 4 minutes.
Interestingly, I "overate" today. I had a bunch of trail mix and wasn't hungry for lunch. I finally ate lunch at 3:00 pm. I wonder if the extra food helped my energy level. Thank you to everyone who commented on my entries-the tips are helping! |
