Weird run today! After Saturday's run we took it easy and ran 8.4 miles at about a 9:17 minute pace. My heart rate is usually about 135 for those runs. But today it was around 170! It started in the 140's for the first couple of miles, then the 160's then the 170's! My maximum is around 185, and my heart rate actually got to 179--going slow!!! I can usually never get it up that high--the whole time I've had my Garmin with the heart rate monitor (about a year), it's only gotten that high once before.

But as soon as I stopped running it dropped to 114 within seconds (it seemed, anyway), then to the 90's. My resting heart rate is somewhere around 55 and usually during the day it is around 75. So I don't know if I should take tomorrow off, maybe I am overtraining?

Met with the running group, and ran some speed work. All in all it was a tough run! We did about 3 miles to warm up, and about 1.5 to cool down, and all the miles in between were fast with recoveries.

2 miles warm-up, then circuit weights, then 4 miles slow

8 miles easy, tried to go slow--it is always harder than I think!

Tried to warm up before the Riverton 10K, but didn't get much time after wrapping up all the registration stuff! Tried to do an 8-minute first mile, then progressively faster. However, I didn't get much faster! I just didn't have a lot of energy, I haven't been sleeping well, who knows why? But my time was 48:05, so my average was 7:50 and it is a tough course--very hilly. Last year I was in the 50 minute range, so that is improvement!
