Welcome Home Everyone

By now I think everyone is home or just about home. Sure was great to see you guys. As always I loved running with John while he was down here. Unfortunately we never really had a chance for all of us to get a run in.

Saturday morning I woke up before the rest of the house and decided to do 3.5 miles before the rest of the house got up. As I got to the fence 0.8 miles up the trail I decided I should run a single mile for time so I’d have a number for my 35^th birthday. I rested for a second then took off down the trail. My one mile time was 6:51. I had run almost a mile before I decide to run for time and it was probably in the high seventies, but I was also running down hill the whole time.

Reviewing my heart rate I may have been able to push just a bit harder and drop a couple seconds, but basically that was as hard as I could push. My heart rate was at 189 bpm by 0.4 mile and inched up to 192 bpm by the end.

Now I’ve got a starting point to work from.
