Sweet Recovery Runs

Daily Quote: "Age 50 is a lot tougher than 40s. Bill Rodgers"

Today is "doubles," when I run twice in one day.

Early AM, after work and before bedtime. Easy Run. Time, 58 minutes. Overall Pace, 9:40 minute miles. 2:20 a.m. Out and back on Lanning Route. Dark and cloudy skies, 72 degrees with no wind. Average heart rate: 142 bpm. Cardiac drift. 145 bpm. The temperatures at night are still falling, and tomorrow we might have thundershowers in Las Vegas!

Later AM, After sleeping seven hours. Recovery Run. 7 miles. Time, 1:03. Overall Pace, 9:00 minute miles. Out and back on Torrey Pines (partly traverses the New Las Vegas Marathon route.) 77 degrees, Dark and cloudy skies with 20 mph wind, a thunderstorm was brewing, but missed the rain by over an hour. Average heart rate: 144 bpm. Cardiac drift, 151 bpm. Listened to a compilation of music by Green Day...the fun part is trying to understand the lyrics!
