My Third Run

Daily Quote:  "Every day is a new beginning.  Treat it that way.  Stay away from what might have been, and look at what can be"  --Marsha Petrie Sue

Today is my third day of running and also have to start my four day work week.  I have many chores before I work at 12:00 p.m.  To save time, instead of leaving for the gym's treadmill, I decided to run out my front door and do a loop around the neighborhood.

Weather:  9:00 a.m. 79 degrees with intermittent clouds, humidity 18%, winds south at 7mph.

Course:  Loop around my home.  West on Upland Avenue, South on Jones Boulevard, East on Alta Avenue, and return home West on Upland Avenue.

Workout:  Warmup 10 minutes racewalking.  Run 1 mile at 10:04.  Cooldown, 8 minutes racewalking.
 Effort felt very easy with heart rate average 141 bpm, with a cardiac drift of 151 bpm.  No aches nor pain, but did feel a little tired after my run and if I had the time I would have had a nap.  Shoes: ASICS Del Trainer.

Tomorrow will attempt to run 1.5 miles.

Wow, the weather in Vegas is nice, huh? Thats all I can think about right now ;) We've got really cold weather here ... and a wedding with an outdoor ceremony tomorrow.

On a more important note, glad you are out there and getting back into your groove. Congrats!
