Still Fighting My Heart Rate

Week of 11/26-12/2
16.98 miles/3:00:07/10:36avg
157BPM Heart Rate

Another week of training in the books and the good news is I am getting my heart rate down a bit, the bad news it's not where I want it to be (145bpm) and I had to slow down almost 30 seconds to do it. I just keep telling myself that this will pay off in a few weeks. Lets hope!

The other theme of the week is "Tom is a big baby". I've run outside almost all year and I hit the treadmill three times this week. It was windy as hell on Tuesday so I cowered in the gym, and earlier today it was a bit sloppy so I headed for Pennock. What a baby I'm turning into. But I guess the important thing is I got all my runs in so I feel good about that.

I still haven't picked a February Half to run but there are several to choose from. I'd really like to find a good sized one in a warm climate so if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Anyway good week in the books. Technically this is the end of Week One of my training program so the mileage starts climbing just a bit next week. Hopefully I'll keep lowering my heart rate without having to give up too much speed!
