Plan A for today became plan B because of family concerns. At least I was able to get out in the afternoon. It was a whole new experience running in short sleeves without gloves and lots of sunshine. The thermometer said 70 degrees. I'm pretty sure this was also my first time up the canyon since a bicyclist hit me from behind. Believe me, I was very careful today, every time I considered changing lanes.
Partly because it's good to work hard once in a while, but mostly because I was impatient, I went as fast as I could, whatever the heart rate. The results were 10.06 miles in 140.27 for an average pace of 9:59 and an average heart rate of 159bpm. 174bpm was my maximum. |
