Comments: 8.0 miles-per-hour for 3.1 miles tonight, and I made it without slowing down like last time. 8.0-mph means a 7:40 mile-pace, so 3.1 miles equals 24:14. This challenged me physically--my heart rate reached into the low 160 bpm range, which represents about 80% of my target heart rate. I napped this afternoon for 3.5 hours after getting up at 07:00 and walking about two miles to help out a local bi-monthly Adopt-A-Highway project. I felt optimistic walking up to the treadmill this evening, but after about one mile I sensed my body straining to keep up with the pace. Taking a cue from a runner I saw about a week or two ago, I lengthened my stride and that seemed to help. I kept my arms extended and my hands swinging near my hips, and this helped lessen strain on my upper body (at the cost of reducing power from my arms). I watched a bit of the 2007 Iditarod before flipping around to other stations. I never really found anything interesting. I felt a lot of relief to finish tonight's run. Afterward I felt strong and alert, a good sign. Perhaps a correlation exists between target heart rate and how I feel afterward? My 6.0 mph runs only get my heart into the low 130 bpm range. Afterward Dawn and I relaxed in the hot tub for 15 minutes.
