• Saturday Morning Run

  This Saturday morning I decided to run 3 miles around a neighboring town and here’s the course I ran. 

  
  The run location was ideal as it is around a scenic lake, low traffic and with a good number of rolling hills (cool map huh?). 
  
  
  

  My heart beat was higher then in other runs (climbing over Zone 5 a few times) this was due to a larger number of hills, and a slight increase of speed.  My speed appears quite steady, even when I was going up hills – which is good to see.  I believe this steady pace is because I listened to “Running Cadences of the US Armed Services” on my iPod.

  My time was 27:25  which is 1 minute and 16 seconds faster then Thursday run.   This is how this run compares to the last two runs.
  

  

  I know I have said it before - but this sports watch is great! I’m not a fast runner, by any means, - and races often are a humbling experience.  But of late I have an increased interest in competing against my past runs and performing to a higher level.   Hopefully this self competition (and my weight lost) will show its fruits at my next 5k race.
