Five more garbage miles
Miles run: 5.01
Time: 46:52
Pace: 9:19
HR: 170/196
Perceived effort: 8
Temp: 50 degrees
Had to stop twice to let the heart rate subside. Damn. 170 average! 196 max? What the hell is wrong? For a lousy 5 mile run around the comfort loop?
Yet, in spite of it, it felt great when I was done. I remember my Dad joking about a guy who was hitting himself in the head with a hammer and another guys asks, “why are you doing that?” To which the first guy says “Because it feels so good when I stop.” That was today’s run.

At least you were out there doing something. It’s more than most of us can say.

You say a “lousy 5 mile run” oh my gosh to me that’s a dang marathon!!!!
Love it what your dad would say and you know from your blogs, yeah you do that. Hit yourself over the head cause it feels so good when you stop!!!
You are a go getter and seem to have many irons in the fire yet always up in spirit. Sounds like you are a well balanced guy and hey feel honored as there are so few like you around!!

Kudos for not giving up!! I’m praying after my surgery I will get back into walking on a daily basis…now running..and biking…I will leave that for you to do ok?? RUnning has never really interested me but biking on the other hand..is fun..but seeing how I don’t own one..and they are quite expensive…hmm I will just walk!
