Judy was really late tonight....computer issues at work and did not get home until nearly 10:30. It was after 11:00 when dinner had been consumed and my mind was working overtime on reasons why I should pass on tonight's run. I did remembered how I had encouraged my Jenn last night when I read her blog on how she didn't want to walk last night but did anyway. I told her that even though the schedule is only a guide, you usually feel better after your run since you have accomplished another step in the journey. I wonder if this is how chemo patients feel as they face their next session of chemo...another step in the journey.
Any way, I went and wore the strap and watch again. This time when I did my two miles I never went over 136 BPM. I still used the 4/2 pace of running and walking. That seems to be working. I think next week we will try 5/2. For Saturday I will definitely use 4/2 so that I can do better than last week and come away more satisfied. I will probably have breakfast and fluid also.
My time stayed under the 30 minutes so I am maintaining my 4 mph pace. I don't cause trees to bend over when I race by but to be able to do that without skyrocketing heart rate seems pretty good. I think that is a sign that I am getting faster.
I ran 4 days so far this week. Lisa was right...it is a lot of running. But I did it so far and feel Pretty Good. That by the way is while I am smiling like Alice's C cat.
Night night it is late.

136 BPM is very good. You are making great progress on your health.
Four days so far...Impressive!
This Blog just keeps getting better and better.
You must be pretty proud of yourself! I know we are :-)
glad to be of inspiration, you were mine tonight... you should really be proud of all that you are doing, you are really working toward a HUGE accomplishment and I am looking forward to MANY more years of us making some distance together (even if neither of us blow over any trees) :)
