Another glorious afternoon run today, and it was beautiful!!! I did a 2 mile warm up and then the goal was to do a 2 mile tempo and test the waters for speed, I headed out towards mini GU corner and here are my splits; 6:56(160), 7:13(161). The second mile I was trying to get it closer to a 7:30 pace but I was still a little fast, the first mile I was almost red lining, but my heart rate didn't show that I had a lot of heavy breathing though. I did take a 60 second walk between each one, so at this point I really don't know what my max HR is because both paces the HR was the same even though the second one I wasn't trying as hard, so I don't know... After the tempo I took it easy on the way home, 2 miles, average pace was 8:10 with my HR average at 150, total time was 49:24. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 25 minutes with 20 minutes of that being at a moderate to hard pace, finished with some strength training on my upper body and some push-ups. See ya tomorrow,
