Running is therapy

I have no idea why, but it never even occurred to me to put my chest strap on when I went out to run today. As a result I have no heart rate data. Aw well.

I went for a 3 mile run on the mean streets of Amish Lancaster. I dressed REALLY warm, too warm in fact. I was sweating like it was August when I got back. But sweating is good for us, and there is a dearth of it in the winter in PA.

Good run, I felt strong if hot. I can tell I am missing a step, and I do believe I am going to fast since I averaged 8:47 minutes per mile pace. I plan to go slower the rest of the week. Also this week holds the only scheduled 2 days in a row of running for the next 14 weeks. Now that won’t hold because things come up and I will have to adjust but this one is scheduled so I need to prepare.
