4.64 miles in 40:52 for an average pace of 8:49/mi and average heart rate of 154bpm. Max was 6:50/mi and 168bpm. This is significantly faster than my run just a week ago and these were my splits: 9:14, 8:53, 8:41, 8:35, and 8:35. At 41 degrees, I chose long sleeves and gloves, but I have more options for when it gets below freezing. I went to the doctor again yesterday. Most of my sick symptoms are gone, but I remain with an aching back that I haven't figured out yet. The good news is that my oxygen intake is back up from 91 and 92 to 98, which is where it should be. The best thing right now is that my daughter in law is in labor with her second child and my 5th grandchild! My wife is in Florida to help and I'm anxiously awaiting more news. |
