3/31 Run and Workout

Turned out to be very comfortable. Wore my gloves because I was feeling paranoid about 49 feels like 44. Didn't need them at all. It was super windy for first mile or so, or at least that's how the headwind felt, anyway. Went clockwise around SLU for a new baseline.

Need to consider electrode gel for the damn HR monitor since it lost its effing mind multiple times in the first mile.

Didn't make the Aurora bridge, unlike last week, when I managed to make both bridges on same run. Can tell its getting to be summer, bridges are more in use.

Made it up eastlake without the damn HR monitor bitching for a change. Yay!

6.13 miles in 1:06:04 (10:47/mile) @ 135. Fastest run at this new HR.

191.91 miles for the month of march. This is longer than the peak before the marathon last year, which was 159.33 last October. Average pace of 9:22. This month's average pace: 10:11. I really hope that all this running slowly isn't just making me run long distances slowly.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to stick with another pure 6 week base building cycle. Especially at this new reduced speed. I'm trying to trust Eric, but I just don't know.
