I really love running 🙂

Today was a 45 min easy run, I went out with John at lunch time for a 5 mile easy run.

Distance: 5.08 miles

Time: 43:56

Average Pace: 8:42 min/mile

Average Heart Rate: 121 bpm

Max Heart Rate: 133 bpm

Conditions: A bit of wind in my face for the first 2 miles (not much) good day for running.
Avg Temperature: 22.2 °C

Remarks: I nailed this run, I kept needing to hold myself back. It is these types of runs which I really enjoy and remind me why I like training for events and love running.

KatieAnn was with me on this run, I though of her a lot.

Todays run was a 15 min warmup, 4 miles at 7 min pace (marathon pace) and recovery for 10 min – I also set the watch to tell me when my Heart rate dropped to 120 BPM – I actually started to walk to get it to drop below 125!

I didn’t track my heart rate for this run, but ran easy – it is good looking at the details below that my heart rate remained low.

I was worried before this run if I could hit the pace for the intervals!

Well I did, and I really enjoyed the run

Good run – Ankle still at me, but getting better.
