Todays Observations
Ran 1 mile - slower in an effort to build my aerobic base and not work my heart anerobicly. Didn’t work. My heart rate was about the same as it was when I ran it faster. So… I’m perplexed. Why run slow when I […]

Parenting Memo to Hubby

Not Rocket Science
Ok… just got back from my run. 3.1 miles (5K) in 49.03. I am giving up worrying about my heart rate for the time being. I don’t see that much of a difference between going slow and going faster… (faster being only a few points more but […]
