This was going to be a long, low heart rate day, but I didn't have the heart when I took off really slowly and my heart rate monitor reported 175bpm. I kept looking at it and I was well into the second mile before it got down into the 140's. At that point, I had no intereset in slowing down any further. I guess that makes today's run a "garbage" run, but at least I did it. Overall, pace was 10:16/mile or 1:45:48 for 10.16 miles. My speed mostly improved with each mile, but even the last fraction and the fastest rate was 9:12/mile. Foot pain started coming back. Hopefully, I didn't overdo it.
