Not bad.

After yesterdays run I didn't feel great and wound up having to start myself back on the cold meds. After a good nights sleep and some french toast I was feeling ready today for another run. With the wind blowing the way it was I opted for the treadmill again. Since I was feeling pretty good, and since I wanted to get in some miles faster than just easy, I did an easy tempo workout. Two mile warm up, 4 miles at 6 min. pace, 1 mile cool down. So 7 total in 46:20. The fast part felt relatively relaxed and easy, so I haven't lost too much over the last two weeks of low mileage. And today I wore the heart rate monitor, which just reinforced the fact that I need to determine my max HR on the track. The common formula is 220 - age (37) = 183. But if that were true, than I was able to run 4 miles at about 98% max while feeling comfortable. There is no way that could be true, so while my average HR during the fast part was @ 180, my guess is that is probably closer to 90% max.
Total for the week: 22!
for the year: 149
