Lunch - 4.5 miles on the treadmill today. I am happy to report that after some soreness in my foot yesterday, it feels better today. Although I didn't get a chance to ice it like I had planned, I did get to go for a walk with my wife later in the evening, and I think that helped. First 20 minutes at 8:00 pace, then bumped up the pace (accidentally) to 7:00/mile. I had meant to increase only to 7:30 pace, but didn't realize it until I had run a mile and I was ahead of where I had anticipated. Last mile at 7:30 pace. Wore my HR monitor chest strap again today. HR was pretty good for the first mile - in the 140's, but then it started climbing up. This is where I can tell my aerobic/cardiovascular fitness is still lacking. |
