Todays lunch time run

Today's run was like taking your Mom's friend daughter to the prom: a little uncomfortable, some fun, and then some unexpected fun!

In the end, on a very warm day, I got the run done in heat. I felt very uncomfortable, and was hoping for water at about 2.5 miles. I just needed to get the run done! And then I realized, I am trying to concentrate so much on heart rate, that its making the runs almost go crappy. I need to go back to running on feel.

Running in the sports complex also makes me realize that while trail running can be hard, it can be lots of fun. So I gots to thinking and I know come summer time, I will have to goto Wells Mills at least once every two weeks for a nice trail run. I also need to take advantage of Freedom Fields and the soccer complex fire roads. I really enjoyed my 10 mile run in there a few years ago. Have to put getting a pair of real trail running shoes on my to do list.

The run was 5 miles in about 57 minutes and so, I think its something like a 11:24 pace ( I think). Avg heart rate was a very high 167.I have found that when I run early morning or late night my heart rate tends to be lower, don't know why???

Like I said, it wasn't all that of a run, but it was a run and I did learn a few things, so it was worthwhile.
