  • A Bee Meadow Run (Buzz, Buzz)

    No I am not running away from bees! I did my normal Saturday 3 mile run in a nearby area called Bee Meadow – beating my last time.   The area has a number of hills – but they were long decents and ascents – making running a little tougher.   Two thing that was nice about the run.  First is that 3/4 of the run I have the sidewalk to run on.   Secondly, where I started (and ended) the run was at a play ground, rooster farm and pond which worked out well because my daughters came along.

    My run started at Bee Meadow Park, made a right onto Reynolds, right onto Joseph, left onto Kearney, right onto Parsippany Road, right onto Bee Meadow Parkway, and then right onto Reynolds.

    Here are my stats for today, compared to my last three runs:

    My time was 26:47 which is around 38 seconds faster then my last run, with an average pace of 8:54 per mile.  I am quite happy with this.

    My heart rate was close to where it was last time I ran – but towards the end, I spent a little more time in zone six.
