Went for another run with my neighbor Jim and it’s a good thing as when I started out my left calf was still very sore from my mid-week run. I might have laid up much earlier had Jim not been there. I also went through my second Timex so returned it for one with Heart Monitor. Had planned on a 7 mile run but it ended up being 6 miles, had to lay up for fear of shin splints. Definitely not enough recovery after my 12 miler the other day! The weather was still somewhat warm as we headed out at about 7:30pm. Jim and I ran 6 miles in 45:37 for an average of 7:36 minute miles. This is quite good considering the extremely sore shins and that we ran a few good hills on Prichard Drive and Stonechurch. My Average heart rate was 174bpm and I hit a peak heart rate of 193 which was on the Prichard Hill. Time spent in 166-185bpm range (176 AVG) was 29:04min. I really enjoy seeing the heart information. Will do more reading and refine the writing regarding these measurements and also see how to use this to improve my time and reach ultimate goal (Boston) before 40 years old.
