Ben wanted to run with me today, for which I was excited. I figured low heart rate would probably work out pretty well, but he started out so fast that my heart rate went up a little more than the 130 threshold. Then he slowed down a lot. With both knees hurting, I dropped him off back home after two miles. It was still his longest run ever, though. After that, I continued for a total of 5.67 miles in 1:07:09 at 11:50/mile with an average heart rate of 125bpm, 135bpm max. Ben was asleep by the time I got home, but this could be the beginning of something very good.
