Fast Running Soldier

Today wasn't too bad of a run. It is still really humid down here, but the heat is somewhat cooling down. Either way, I need to be out running anyway. I wanted to keep it nice and easy today and that certainly happened on the first mile, but then I kicked it up on the way back (for my fitness level at least). Generally on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am just trying to get a few slow miles in to warm the body up and stay loose.

9:06   8:20  3:41(.5 mile) = 8:27 AP at an average of 156BPM

I really started pushing it the last mile, so from 1.5 to 2.5 I finished in 7:45.

Took some time off, more than I should have!

I wanted to hit 4 today, but I wasn't feeling well. The bottom of my foot was hurting, my knee was bothering me, etc. etc. etc. These things aren't normal for me, so I didn't want to chance it. I'll get back after it tomorrow.

8:50   8:36  4:08 (.5 mile)  =  8:38 AP at 164 average BPM

Its been a little bit. The last two weeks we had back to back graduations, which doesn't leave much time to workout in the mornings with all the rehearsals we have. No excuses, next grad cycle I'll get after it better.

Today felt pretty good though. My thighs are sore from squats and what not from last week, but all in all it felt good.

8:10   8:05   8:14  = AP of 8:09 and average BPM of 171

My heart rate was a lot higher than I would anticipate; however, most likely indicative of my cardiovascular fitness at this stage.

I felt a bad today, as I felt good last Monday. Running once a week doesn't help, but my running partner is back at work. Things should start getting more consistent.
