I usually don't enjoy Halloween...it always ends up weird and sort of searching for plans. As a kid, it was a full out blast due to an overabundance of sugar and dressing up. Since then, as I got older, I found it necessary to come up with "cool" plans. Now? Never fear, the 5K is here!!
What a wonderful way to start a holiday! With a fun and easy run. And through a historic Kansas City cemetery! It was really a blast. Nice people, funny costumes, laid back atmosphere, and my best time yet for 3 miles (ish). 3.1 miles in 32:51. I'm real happy about this. Especially since I have been training at 12 min/mile. I also monitored my heart rate while running and I think I'm in a good place. I've discovered my resting heart rate to be 68 in the mornings and during my run today the highest it got was 170. (It was also cold out). Most of the race I was sitting at 150. Within a minute of finishing the race I was at 120. I think that's a good fall. By the time I got to the car it was 95 and home back down to the seventies. I am not exactly certain of my max heart rate, but I'm guessing it's somewhere around 197. 170 might be a little high? No? Maybe not. It was after an uphill section so I'm probably being a little paranoid.
So time to plan out week three of training:
Sunday--walk 35 minutes
Monday--2 miles
Tuesday--cycle 35 minutes
Wednesday--5 miles
Thursday--rest
Friday--2 miles
Saturday--walk 35 minutes
EXCITED!!!
