OLD AND SLOW



OLD AND SLOW 

Weight:  196 lbs

Post-Run Resting Heart:  79 bpm PC (post-coffee)

3.5 miles          7.87 YTD
41 minutes          95  YTD

11:43 mpm  (fair to poor)

The Run: 
Really good, though I feared I would be too tired to run three.  I felt good, forcing myself to shuffle slowly, not knowing how long I would last.  I found on the way that my old friend the Track was open, so I entered and ran two miles before returning home without stopping except for traffic lights.  This worked out nicely, as it was encouraging to get on the track, even though the inner three lanes had some ice to be avoided.
Weather/Road Condition:
Surfaces wet but clear of snow and ice, except for lane one and two of the track.  Weather was good enough to run without a hat or over-hood.  Ran in my track suit, felt fine.  Clouds threatened, so I was running the risk of getting wet on a very bad day for running wet, but survived as it did not start raining until later.

38F      (+4C)
Mostly Cloudy
Wind:  light
Humidity:  unknown
Sunlight:          7:59 - 7:46

Outlook:  There is no way I’ll be ready for the River Bank Run again, so I’ll try once more to be in shape for a late year long run, possibly even out West, but that depends upon school.  It would be super cool to run a marathon in November in Tuscon.
