Notes
Temp 43 (WC 38) Wind 9 mph.
Chilly morning. Plan was to get few miles in on track as part of 5 miler @ McMillan pace. This is 7th day in a row to run (including a race) and 2nd outing in less than 24 hours. Did not expect legs to be fresh and brother they did not disappoint me.
Took Ipod for second time in two weeks. Stopped to walk and rest ITB few times...real recreational runner today. ITB really barking at times. Hills and curves on track. Would be fine if I rested and re-focused on form. Hit hard at end. That's why a 4.96 mile run and not a 5.00.
HR monitor strap fell off twice at start. Scrapped it until I got to track. Still don't think readings were reliable enough to record. Hit a 197 going up a hill @ 3.50 mile mark?? Not that hard and I'm not in route to the ER.
Off to St. Louis today with the wife for Red Robin burgers, pep rally, and Blues playoff game. Will either see playoff victory or hand-shake ceremony. Either will be a 1st. We're OK with this; Oshie, Bergie, Perron, EJ, and the gang are still a couple years away from the Cup anyways.
