Notes
Way too hot for me. It'll definitely take some time to get used to the heat all over again. I can't believe that I used to go running in Orlando, FL at 2:00 PM. The run itself was pretty decent, although I had to rush recovery because I had to run an errand as soon as I got back.
Today's run started out as an easy 8 miles, but it turned into a kind of progression run. The first 1.25 miles I averaged about 135-140 HR. From there to the turnaround point at about mile 4, I was averaging 150 bpm. At that point back to the turn onto Plunkton, I averaged 170 bpm, and from there it was 1.25 miles uphill averaging 185 bpm. The reason I say it was "kind of" a progression run is that my pace didn't really get faster, just my heart rate. I was running pretty even splits for the whole thing, but it was just more difficult to keep the same pace as the run wore on, although the last 2 miles or so were definitely faster than the rest of the run.
