6/4 Run

Got up even earlier than Wednesday to beat the heat and get the run in before work.

Ran the 'block' at home for the first time in a while, since I realized after yesterday it didn't make sense to shower twice in a morning. :)

Yay! New PR for this loop (and for the 6 mile distance) :) Just a good hard, faster run. Admittedly, right at the top end of acceptable heart rate, but still. :) 6.16 miles in 1:01:15 (9:56/mile) @ 143 bpm.

Tempwise it was 67ish, at start and finish. Much better!

Probably need to consider a need an arm holder dealy for the iPhone. Swapping the it and the handheld every mile got old, and a little awkward.

I need to go back and look at my notes from last year and see at what speeds I started noting core (abs) soreness during and after runs. I'm realizing that as my pace gets down to 10 min/mile or lower the form thing (arm swing, etc) starts taking care of itself and getting more active. And my abs get more work.
