What a difference a day makes, my morning heart rate is 40 bpm, I feel upbeat, and eager to start running on the treadmill!

10:15 a.m. Life Fitness Treadmill set at a 1% grade. Total Distance: 7 miles. Warm-up: 2 miles at 6.3 mph (9:31 minute miles). Tempo: 4 miles at 7.6 mph (7:54 minute miles). Cool-down: 1 mile at 6.3 mph. Average heart rate: 155 bpm. Cardiac Drift: 173 bpm. (Note: My maximum heart rate is 190 bpm) My tempo run's mileage increased to 4 miles today and body felt very strong with no aches nor pain. I'm considering on increasing my tempo run's speed to 7.7 mph (7:48 minute miles) next week, which is close to my 10k racing speed. I listened to "Cure" during my run, thanks Lisa for suggesting my listening to them many years ago!
