Half year summary:
As I finished the last week of June I totaled up 1214 miles so far this year w/ 782 running miles. I am feeling like a runner for the first time in about 5-6 years. I can not relatively pain free.
Clinton Lake trail
On sunday morning I ran this trail with my son Jason. the trail is a tough hily trail but fun and beutiful run around a lake. usually in the summer the trail is over grown and bug infested but this year its being maintained in a nice wide state, so we decided to run it. last april 2 I ran it in 2:18 at 137hr av/157 max. w/ 11mins over 148hr. temp was 35-65 degrees, very nice weather.
This year it was 75-85 degrees w/94 HI(heat index) 70 dew pt. in summary hot/humid. I ran 2:08 in 140hr av/157 max w/ 37mins over my aerobic rate of 148. I walked the first 5mins then ran/walked as I felt. Jason ran the last 3 miles faster ending up under 2 hours.
I was pleased. my heartbeats per mile was 1805. compare this to my times in 2003:
11/27-1:55 at 150 =1718
11/2-1:58 at 143 = 1687
12/14-4:44 at 136 = 1931 (20M)
12/24-4:06 at 137=1685 (20)
I think when fall cooler weather comes along I might be able to go under 2 hours again w/o killing myself....IF??....I can do that and feel good I know I'm getting the point of being in good shape again.
