Today was my good day of my good day/bad day cycle that I spoke about yesterday. I felt great the second I stepped outside, even though it was raining again! I got soaked, but I didn't care at all. It cooled me off a bit and I just became one with the rain and cruised.I stayed in my zone the entire run which is encouraging because that means I am getting closer to my peak speed a few years ago when I could easily run an 8 min mile in my aerobic zone. That is still one of my goals this year. I am getting closer to that.
Another big deal is that today is the last day before I pass the halfway point of the year! One more day and I will be more than halfway through the year. I made it bitches! I made it halfway, at least. That is still something to celebrate, I think.
Let's take a look at the numbers:
Time: 25:00
Distance: 3.02 miles
Pace: 8:16/m
Max Pace: 7:15/m
Calories: 391
Avg HR: 138
Avg HR: 138
Max HR: 151
Another piece of good news is that I do not remember feeling any pain in my calf during the run. I will pay attention to it tomorrow to see how it is doing. I think I may have gotten past the worst of it. Cutting out the long run last week might have been a good idea.
This week will be a test because I am now running 25 minutes every day now. Honey isn't too happy with the increase in time, as we have discussed, but I have given her an out in that we can run 20 min together and then I can run 5 by myself. We shall see if she takes me up on it.
It is a new month and that means I need to get my monthly report together. I can't promise it to you tomorrow, but I should have it done pretty soon. Since I expect tomorrow to be a slow run day, I should have nothing else to talk about, so maybe tomorrow? We shall see.
Run for Life!!
