Z2 in the Park... almost

I tried to just be consistent and do the work. I tried to keep my heart rate low and run modestly. I tried to do all of these things and yet, my heart rate still crept into z3 more that I would like. Possible culprits:

• Much warmer out then I have dealt with to date
• Didn't take my inhaler beforehand (though I didn't have any lung issues either)
• Trying out a new mechanical method - leg pulling forward from glutes (this was an easy new move to adopt)
  
• Running around the loop means lots of hills
• Double set of Plyo to start set heart rate at 155 before running

All this aside, the run was good. I felt strong and worthy of the work. My watch beeped "Lap 4" and I had a moment of recognition. I realized that there was no way that I would be running (at all!) this time last year, let alone breeze by mile four without even a blink. I am really proud of myself and my (massive) personal accomplishments. A special thank you to those out there who believe in me, love me, and push me to try harder.
