Schedule called for me running 7 MP miles today, but struggling to get to bed early so I ran at work. Headed for the gym at 10:30 to try and beat the heat, and mostly successful. I wore my HR monitor for the first time in years and it was helpful. Temps 77-80F while running, 30% humidity so none to speak of. I warmed up for a mile, then aimed for my C marathon goal of a 7:50 pace and did that for the next 3 miles. It was feeling a bit warm and my HR was up there, past 165, so I took a break from MP. Walked a bit then jogged the next mile. Interestingly, my HR was 155 at a 9:xx pace. The last mile I ran at MP again and HR didn't jump all that much higher.

I only got in 4 good miles, but that's a good start.

AP: 8:06, Avg HR 155

 

We're headed on vacation tomorrow, driving to SLC then Lake Powell, so not sure how much running I'll get in the next 10 days. Hopefully a few runs, but it's going to be really hot in Powell so I'm not planning on much.
