4/4 Med Long Run and Workout

The run ended cooler than it started amazingly enough. the iPhone said it was 36 when I left, 35 when I got back. I had to scrape the car to be able to drive to the gym. I'm ready for summer. :)

A nice comfortable, slowish run. Pace was amazingly consistent according to the plot, and except for the HR monitor losing it's mind again, nothing spectacular to report.

Net moment coming out of Mill Creek and onto 35th. One stretch had fogged in, and all you could hear was the honking of some geese and the chirping of birds. Suddenly a pair of geese just took off out of nowhere and headed out. All you could see was the black goose shaped blobs and hear the honking. Fun.

GUs at 4ish and 7ish

9.35 miles in 1:39:41 (10:40/mile) @ 136 bpm

Which when compared to last week (same route) is pretty damn OK:
last week: 9.32 miles in 1:43:10 (11:03/mile) @ 137 bpm

Side planks are hard, but they work so well.

I would be so mad if I had to scrape my car off in April!
