Training Run

Distance: 4.04 miles
Time: 38:45
Pace: 9:35 min/mi

Comments: The weather this week has been straight-up putrid. Temperatures have hovered in the upper 30s and the rain has been constant up to this morning. Not exactly inspiring me to great achievements.

I took advantage of the return of the sun to get this one in. It was still chilly though. The humidity gave it a bit more bite than I expected. The first two miles were pretty quick but I slowed significantly on the second half. Once again, my heart rate was way high most of the way.

Comments: Well, the plan was a longer run today but it was cold and the dog-walkers were a pain and I can get my 80 miles this month without it. I felt pretty lame all morning for not doing it, so even with the parsed effort I'm much happier now.

It was chilly starting out, particularly with the breeze. I probably did my usual stunt and pushed the pace too much as a result. Once again, I spent more than half the run in the high heart rate zone. Not sure how this bodes for the race next week but we will see.
