Running Journal, Saturday, 2010-12-11
Resting heart rate: 67 bpm (60 second test, 60 minutes after exercise)
Body Mass Index (BMI): 22.73 (kilograms/(meters^2))
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): 1,846 calories
Weather: cloudy, mildly warm
Temp: 15 C (59 F)
Time: 10:39-12:19 p.m.
Terrain: flat
Comments: Re-discovered the Carmichael Canine Corral (Dog Park) today: German shepherds, labs, beagles, a greyhound, spaniels, a collie, and numerous other dogs mingled. This is something cat owners, obviously, just do not do, and looks like a great socializing opportunity. Passed the defunct public pool (since 2004) in Carmichael Park. Winter citrus and other fruit hangs heavy on trees--grapefruits, oranges, lemons, and persimmons. At approximately the half-way point, my Timex 5B501 Speed + Distance watch began randomly beeping continuously. When I pressed the button, it would resume. This repeated several times, until, with one long beep, it no longer responded to button presses; the display also no longer updated. Strikes me as likely a problem with the battery. This presented a minor problem--timing my run and walk breaks. Turned out just fine running as far as I felt comfortable, then walking a short distance. The lushness of the old growth trees and their canopy on Walnut Avenue near Winding Way greeted me, as did the goat from last Saturday; today it seemed interested in chewing on a post. The Hammer Nutrition Gel I stowed in my pocket helped immensely as I entered the seventh mile. People drove past with trees on their roofs or in the beds of pickups. A couple near our home hauled lights out of storage for placement on the exterior of their home. On Whitney Avenue, as I approached Carmichael Park, one home's decorations in particular struck me as grotesque. One note--I seemed to feel more sore from running slowly, with walk breaks, in the first half, than I did in the second half when I (presumably; I lacked a functioning watch) extended my running time, and also slightly increased my speed. Running slow, at first, helps with warming up muscles; perhaps, however, it might help to run a bit longer distances next Saturday, when I run nine miles.
