running

Around 9:15 average. Nothing exciting but the miles are in the bank.

Pace with the group felt easier today. Not sure if that means I am in slightly better shape or it's just part of the ebb and flow of workouts. Garmin still put me in zone 5. I don't buy that. I wasn't working that hard. I think it miscalculates max heart rate for older runners then it's zones are off.

Easy

Another local race to humble me. Course is challenging. First mile is all downhill. Second mile is up hill. By the third I just hope I can hang on. A few local races use this course so I have run it a few times. Today was the fastest by almost a min. 17 sec per mile faster than last year. Happy with effort. Spent at the end but won't be sore tomorrow. Came away with age group third place.
