Run at Game Farm. Weather was fine starting out but progressively got worse. Went for medium mileage today; not distance run but not super short run. Run seemed to be very hard; sore still from Thur. Struggle to finish those long 5 miles, esp with it raining on me. Lots of activity going on: softball practice, football players, medal detectors being run all over park by different people, recreational users, etc.

Early morning run/jog at ARSHS. It has been a long time since I've gotten up at 5:15 a.m. to go running and haven't done that since the time change. Surprisingly, it wasn't so bad. I felt good this morning. I made up my  mind to run slower than I normally do to have a nice relaxing slow run and not over do (I've been learning tips like this to help with training and prevent injuries). Clear skies out and the birds were chirping nice early to keep me company.

TT: 35:30 min.  HR before: 68 bpm   HR after: 152 bpm

Avg: 8:52 min  145 bpm   Max: 7:30 min   171 bpm

Laps: 8:36, 8:55, 9:02, 8:56  (a lot slower than usual but felt relaxing to go slower this time)

ARSHS. Clear skies. Birds chirping again. Slightly sore from yesturday run even though it was an easy one. Ran faster speed this time to push a little. Felt pretty good. No pain or probs. 11 laps, opposite direction around track this time to change it up and work out other areas. Morning pulse: 46 (nice and low)

TT: 24:55    Avg: 8:18 min   Max: 7:06 min

Laps: 8:22, 8:11, 8:20 (felt glad I got faster second mile but glad to slow down last mile to get heart rate back down to normal, finish off with fast walk.
