Fitness Run

Distance: 4.17 miles
Time: 43:24
Pace: 10:24 min/mi

Comments: Another early run. It ain't easy but it makes the rest of the day a lot easier. Hopefully I'm building a strong routine for the rest of the summer.

Legs felt kind of blah today, start to finish. It didn't really affect my effort but it was not pleasant. I'm guessing it's weather related since I ate and slept worth a damn yesterday. For a change.

I'm still getting used to the new gear and analysis. The heart rate seems to suggest most of this was at long run pace even though it's a bit faster than my training plan calls for.

Comments: My legs felt very lethargic today. Particularly during the warm-up portion of the run and on the big hill. Not sore or achy. Just... drained, weary. I slept pretty hard last night. Maybe that's it.

Whatever the case, I ended up doing this one a bit faster than I expected. The second mile in particular was pretty quick. According to heart rate, the vast majority of this run was in my long run range. So, hopefully, that means progress.

I am way behind my 80-miles-per-month schedule for August. I need to look at how to catch back up in the next week or so.

Comments: I played around with the GPS tracker yesterday and sorted a few things out. Got a decent reading for today's run but it still is measuring the run irregularly. So it looks like I am running farther and faster than I actually am.

Whatever. I'm just trying to track my progress, not set a land speed record or anything.

Today's run started rough, which isn't much of a surprise. I warmed up pretty quickly and felt reasonably good the rest  of the way. The last mile was tough but "normal" tough.
