Day 24, 341 To Go

January 24, 2013

I had another Honeyless run today, but have no fear, she will be back better than ever soon enough.  She told me she is actually depressed that she is not able to run today.  She is shocked and appalled that not running would make her feel that way. Normally, it is the other way around...running makes her depressed!  She didn't even read my blog from yesterday, but I bet the therapeutic affects of exercise are working already!

She is actually kind of lucky because it was cold again today.  What the hell...I'm in Florida!  Isn't it supposed to be hot here all the time?  Who knew...

I see by my friend's posts on Facebook that it is much colder up North, so my complaints fall on deaf ears for the most part.  We are having a countrywide cold snap that is stretching down into the deep South.  At least Hawaii is probably still warm which is where I should be.  The question is, how do I sneak out of the house and get to the airport...

So, I woke up tied to the bed with Honey standing over me holding a baseball bat.  I guess my plan to escape to Hawaii failed.  At least I got my run in already, because I have a headache now and running might be a bit hard. 
Now that I am no longer tied to the bed, I can finish my blog.  I am contemplating entering a race in April.  It is a Sprint Triathlon in the Orlando area call the Spring Fling Triathlon Festival.  I'm on the fence at this point, but perhaps if I massage Honey's feet she will give me the go ahead to do it!

Here are my numbers for the day:

Time: 15:00

Distance: 1.67 miles

Pace: 8:59/m

Max Pace: 7:35/m

Calories: 215

Avg HR: 129

Max HR: 144

I picked up the pace just a bit today, but for the most part I took it easy.  My heart rate stayed in the aerobic zone the whole time which was my goal since I didn't want to push hard two days in a row.

Guess it is time to eat...and maybe I can get tied to the bed again if I'm a good boy...until tomorrow...

Run for life!!
