Comments: I think today may represent one of my lowest resting heart rates, ever. Ran really slow, after reading about how running slow promotes fat burning rather than glycogen burning. Overexertion = glycogen burning. Ran under a pair of blossoming trees this evening on my way through Gibbons Park. The smell was faint but sweet. Night sounds: croaking frogs; creaking gates; clattering of large palm tree fronds; rustling of smaller palm trees and grasses; a Mira Loma night custodian loudly playing choral music on a radio while taking a cigarette break, just off school grounds; sudden whirring and clicking of a bicyclist passing by; a cough identifying a couple on a bench in Gibbons Park, huddled together in the moonlight. Wore leggings, racing shorts, underarmour core, and a light technical jacket, which seemed just right. Felt a bit drained, today, possibly a touch of my body fighting off some minor illness. This evening, I feel strong, again. Celebrated Valentines Day with dessert at Sweeties and dinner at Whole Foods.
