I used my new heart rate monitor. I just wanted to check that I really am working hard, and it turns out, I'm not working as hard as I thought. Sigh. I had to pump up the speed to get in the "zone."

It was a good run, but I was disappointed because I thought I was running faster. It FELT like I was running harder. But then again, I hadn't run outdoors since the 10K.

I got off the bike to fnish up on to the treadmill b/c I hate the bike, and then got a really bad cramp and was done.

10/7/07

Outdoor run:

10K!!!

(6.21 miles)
55:54

6.66 mph

Not too shabby considering we had taken the whole week off from running due to various injuries (my foot and back nerve.) We also had not been running as much as would be typical for a run this duration. We did manage to finish without stopping, and at altitude (5200 ft [1585 m]) too! J had been in front of me for most of the run and he slowed and reached back to hold my hand for the finish and some woman totally knocked us out of the way to cross before us. Nice, eh? Too bad she didn't get a medal in her age group and we both did! Ha!

Dead ipod, sigh. My foot is still bothering me a bit so no running. We'll see what that means for the 10K on Sunday.
