Day 235, 130 To Go

August 23, 2013

Happy Friday everyone! For all those of you who have to work on the weekends, I am sorry.  I am still going to wish you a Happy Friday.  You can apply it to whatever day would be the equivalent of my Friday.

I don't know what I have planned for the weekend yet other than a 68 minute run on Sunday.  I may bike, I may swim, I may play with the kiddies and maybe I'll spend some time with the Honey.  All I know is that I am going to enjoy my runs this weekend.  I am still in my easy week, so I mind as well coast along and enjoy it.

Honey is going out with me today too.  I don't think she is into the run too much today.  I'm not sure what gave it away.  Perhaps it was the when we started running, and I looked beside me and she wasn't there...she was still back at the starting line.  Or, maybe it was the telltale sound of her struggling with her breathing (she does her best impression of a horse...you have to hear it to understand).  Another clue would have been the fact that she said she didn't want to run.  That would be the obvious clue, I guess.

To be honest, I wanted to get it over with today too so I could relax for the rest of the night.  So, that's what I did.  Here are our numbers:

Time: 25:00

Distance: 2.07 miles

Pace: 12:08/m

Max Pace: 9:37/m

Calories: 164
Avg HR: 100

Max HR: 110

It was a nice and easy run today.  However, I am feeling a little something at the back of my left knee.  It is a bit worrisome since it reminds me of the pain I had when I pulled my hamstring when I was training for my first marathon many years ago.  I mean, it is only a twinge, but...well, we will see...we will see...

Run for Life!!
