Road Trip


13 miles today with 6 at MP. There was a nice 25 mph wind with 34 mph gusts blowing this morning so Daddy and the kids offered to take me out in the country so I could run with the wind at my back (sort of.. it was a SE wind and I was running straight east). The kids had a blast eating treats and watching movies while they watched for Mommy to run past.

The wind settled down quite a bit after the first few miles.. I could feel it blowing me a little right away which got me running a little faster than I had planned. The first 7 miles were very comfortable and I decided not to worry too much about HR and focus more on how my legs felt.
7:25 (146) | 7:33 (155) | 7:30 (157) | 7:34 (158) | 7:39 (159) | 7:35 (164) | 7:39 (166)

And the MP miles:

6:58 (175) | 6:54 (179) | 6:58 (180) | 6:59 (180) | 7:01 (181) | 6:56 (182)

I don't really know what to make of my HR these last two days. All I know is that my legs felt great today and I didn't start to feel tired until the last mile. No soreness at all and my legs continue to feel good as the day goes on. I was a little disappointed because of the HR data but I still think it was a good effort without being too much.
