I lied

OK so I lied. I got out for a quick 3 miler this morning. I wanted to do something before I left for the weekend. It was my first opportunity to use the foot pod with my new HRM. It's awesome. It's really nice to see how far you are really running and what your pace is. I'm still not 100% sure how to use the heart rate readings. What I do know is that I'm generally in the 160's, 170's if I'm really cookin' and 150's when I'm slowing down or slackin'. I was thinking my 3 mile route was actually going to come out to be 1.4 miles or something crazy short because that's just how my luck goes. Fortuneatly it was almost 3 miles on the dot (3.03 to be exact). I was right at the 7:45 - 8 min pace which is good for a training run. In races I'm generally closed to the 7 min pace. Training wise it's harder for me to have the intensity and adrenaline to keep a quick pace like that. The good thing is that if I can keep an 8 min pace in a training run I'm sure I can keep it in a longer race (i.e. The Patriot). Anyways, my legs and hip joints were a little sore. Maybe from all of the running from Wednesday and Thursday. More to come on all this heart rate stuff.

Leaving now. Have a good weekend.
