| | Another cold run this morning, but with a GPS. Measured 8.13 miles in 1:22:18 for an average rate of 10:07/mi and 147bpm. I wasn't really willing to keep my heart rate low while running up the hill, but it wasn't that much exertion overall. With all the calories I've consumed lately, it was very much needed. | | Add Comment |
| | 5.5 miles in 1:03:34 for an average pace of 11:34/mi and about 126bpm for the heart rate. Back home on my regular route where the temperature is a little warmer at 29 degrees and the elevation is a little lower at 4800 feet. I've also been eating plenty and have no lack of energy. | | Add Comment |
| | 5.5 miles on the steep hill route in 50:12 for an average pace of 9:08/mi and 151bpm. Slowest mile was 10:52 followed by my fastest mile at 7:49. | | Add Comment |
| | 4.94 miles in 56.16 for at average speed of 11:23/mi and 126bpm, (max 133bpm) Changed my route a little and removed quite a bit of the ups and downs. Also, changed my shoes, which I noticed were very worn on the outside, front. I think my old shoes are in much better shape than my new ones. Maybe I'll get some new shoes for Christmas. | | Add Comment |

5.49 miles in 1:02:35 for an average pace of 11:24/mile at 125bpm. At 18 degrees, it was one of my coldest mornings yet, but still tolerable.
Cindy's family is driving here and will arrive soon. Then we'll have our whole family here for Christmas, making our house pretty cozy. | | Comments(1) |

Ran 10.1 miles in about 2 hours and 2 minutes. Usually my GPS shows a low battery after 4 or 5 miles, but this time, it completely turned off before I finished my run. So the data is pretty much invalid. I tried to keep my heart rate down, but I don't know if I even achieved that.
It's been a long time since I've found time to run 6 times in a week, but I did it with less work obligations, having only worked three of those days. | | Add Comment |
