Training run - weekly long run

Today's run was 6 miles, finished in 1:09:52.  I used the Jeff Galloway training method - run/walk using 3 min. run/1 min. walk.  I was at 3 miles in 35 minutes.  Took Elmo, aka Elms, along for the run - nice but I need to create a longer set!

I started out at South Shore Park mile marker 60.5, headed south on the Oak Leaf Trail to the pond in Sheridan Park, mile marker 57.5, and turned around.

Another sunny day, in the 50's when I started out and 62 when I finished.

Training Run (Easy)

Today was an easy 40 minute run with the heart rate (HR) in the 135-145 zone.  My average HR was 143, maximum was 182, and I was in the zone 22:22 minutes.  HR for the last mile was 150-155.

Started out heading south on Wentworth to Oklahoma to the Condos in St. Francis, turned around and came back along the lake front.  Sunny and cool, 50 when I started out, wore long sleeve shirt - big mistake - too hot.
