<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color:#8b4513;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">I woke up at 5 am for my run, an hour earlier than I planned, but this is the best time to run.<span> </span> I love those early morning runs.<span> </span> As I sit out in the living room and do my early morning devotion I think about all the gifts God has given me; to include this gift of enjoyment of running.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color:#8b4513;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">I look at the temperature, 53 degrees, perfect.<span> </span> I let the dog out to the bathroom and that is when I realize it is raining.<span> </span> Oh no, it has been a long time since I have run outside, much less in the rain.<span> </span> So now the mind is racing, do I change what I wear or do I continue on and not worry about it.<span> </span> I decided to stay as is, long sleeve shirt and shorts and a running cap, but once I got outside I changed my mind and kept my running jacket on.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color:#8b4513;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Before I left the house I checked my resting heart rate, 58.<span> </span> Today’s run was a “long run” of only 6 miles but I had to keep the heart rate in check.<span> </span> I set my heart rate monitor to beep once it hit 155, 65% of my heart rate reserve.<span> </span> Here are my splits and average heart rate per mile:<span> </span> 8:33 (143), 8:25 (150), 8:35 (152), 8:21 (150), 8:30 (150), 8:27 (154).</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color:#8b4513;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">A great run as I stayed on track with both pace and heart rate.<span> </span> I normally just want to run and not worry about pace or heart rate, but this season I am going to try and stick to a plan for my long runs keeping my heart rate between 65 and 70% heart rate reserve.</span></span></span></p>
