Short Run 1: 09/27/2005 @ 6:10a
Total Distance 6.51m, Avg Pace 10:22/mi, Avg Heart Rate 158bpm

Great run this day. I found and out and back path that I really like. Sidewalks all the way, convenient to work, a few hills... Running pace @ 9:20/mi.

Short Run 2: 09/29/2005 @ 6:39am
Total Distance 5.08m, Avg Pace 10:29/mi, Avg Heart Rate 140bpm

Tired this day, but got the run done. Same path as the 27th, still like it. I also prefer running earlier in the day -- 30 minutes seems to make a real difference in temperature at the end of the run. With winter ahead, this should become a non-issue. I have no idea why my heart rate came down as far as it did; looking at the graphs provided by Garmin, it looks like the Forerunner HR monitor checked out for about half the run.

(Not So) Long Run: 08/20/2005 @ 7:28am
Total Distance ~5m, Avg Pace 12:00/mi, Avg Heart Rate unknown

The Forerunner's battery died on the way to the trail. Click here to see my route. All stats are estimates. I intentionally ran a short distance today as I'm running the Bridge to Bridge tomorrow. This was not a good running day though -- as you can tell by the average pace, I walked a lot today. I just don't feel like doing anything today...

(Another Not So) Long Run: 08/20/2005 @ 5:28pm
Total Distance 3.09m, Avg Pace 9:50/mi, Avg Heart Rate 159bpm

I just felt like running again. With the race in mind and consistent with the day, I took more walking breaks than usual. Happy to have my Forerunner back in action too. This route picks up the path I've been following on my long runs. I started at the point I turned on my 9 miler. I went out 1.5 and returned, giving me a visual on the landmarks for my upcoming 12 miler. Gulp!
