Morning Run


I woke up at 3am Pacific time today (6am EST) and told myself to try to sleep more, as I would need the rest for the day. At 6am I got up and went to the sport center to run on the treadmill. I only have heart rate data for the day, as I don't have a foot pod anymore.

Ran 10 minutes to warm up. I set the treadmill at 5.5mph, which translates to nearly 11 minute miles. Once I was finished with the warm up, I had a 40 minute race-pace set, which I ran at 6.9mph, or 8:41. My heart rate climbed gently, but consistently to a max of about 173. I will upload the data as soon as I get back to my equipment. Here's a photo of the data from the 'mill though.



This evening I got in the tiny pool again. Swam a few drills, only about 15 minutes worth. When I got out, I noticed that the kids, who were enjoying late night pool time with me, were actually watching me swim and were mimicking me. It made me smile.
