Mission Accomplished Part I

Just finished doing the run I laid out yesterday - you can see it here. I didn't get to do it with the Front Runners - they run on Sundays at 9 AM - as I took too long making breakfast. I rode my bike there around 11 AM. The time for the run was 54:17, and with the actual distance at 10.097 km or 6.274 miles, my speed was 5:23 per km or 8:39 per mile. I'm really happy with those times.

Several weeks ago, I bought a watch that works with a heart monitor that is strapped around the chest. For most of the run, my heart rate was right under the 85% range, at around 140 beats per minute. Going up some hills, it would spike a little, as high as 150 and 155.

I'm taking a break right at the moment, getting some fluids and food in me, and then plan to ride. It has turned into a spectacular day.
