Day 346, 19 To Go

December 12, 2013

This week is going by kind of fast.  Sure, I'm working my butt off, but that does have the affect of making it feel like I am speeding through my week.  So, of course, after a hard week of work, and a speedy week at that, I felt it was time to speed through my run!!

I actually didn't plan it, I was just running and I felt good so I decided to push it a bit.  I know I will pay for it for about a week in slow, painful runs, but I was sick of running slow!

Let's get the numbers out of the way so I can get back to the fun gift ideas!  Here are my numbers:

Time: 30:00

Distance: 3.86 miles

Pace: 7:46/m

Max Pace: 5:47/m

Calories: 395

Avg HR: 142

Max HR: 168

Yeah, that was hard.  I like hard runs.  If I was going to have a day off to recuperate, I'd like it even more.  Tomorrow I will regret it.  My left hip seems to get really tight after these hard runs.  I think I need a break.

Let's break for Christmas!  Take a look at some more gift ideas!!

MIO Alpha Heart Rate Monitor Watch

This is not just your run of the mill HR monitor.  This one is unique in that you don't need a chest strap, and they claim it is as accurate as a HR monitor with a strap.  I don't know if they are telling the truth, but it seems worth a try.  Check it out at the Mio site.

This next one is kind of ordinary, but still a good idea.

Headsweats Ironman Supervisor

Yes, it is just a hat, but since it is actually a visor, it is better at keeping you cool while still blocking the extra sunlight!  You can find these at www.Headsweats.com

Last but not least we have this...

TYR Elite Transition Backpack

 This is no ordinary backpack.  It is compartmentalized to optimize your storage if you are a triathlete.  Who doesn't love a backpack with lots of pockets!!  Find this one here!

Ok folks, that's all I have for today.  Have a good night!!

Run for Life!!
