Run #1

3 miles, 28:55, 9:39 pace, 159 average heart rate.

3 miles this week, 3 mile total.

Friggin beautiful outside today. I went outside at 10:00, and it was 60 F and sunny. If every day is this perfect, training will be a piece of cake. Oh yeah. Right. I started off at a 9:00 pace, but slowed down when my heart rate started moving up. I've read some about heart rate training, but need to figure out a better idea of what zones I should be aiming for in these runs. Based on the standard calculation, my max heart rate is 188 bpm. I think that means my heart rate during regular training runs should be around 150 bpm, but I need to figure out my resting heart rate first.

Anyway, good start.
