November 28th, Wednesday

It’s only cold if you’re standing still.  🙂

Another very windy late November day had me waiting for the weather to get better before I headed out for my run. My plan was to run at the cinder track, but by the time I got out it was getting dark already.   So I chose to stay in my neighborhood and run on the sidewalks.  Getting started was a chore because it was pretty cold and I was bundled in multiple layers. I struggled through the first mile in about 14 minutes. Things got better, and as I passed home I threw some of my layers off and continued. I fonshed up running for 4 miles in a total of 48:30.  Last two miles were both about 11 minutes a piece. Along the way I did about 8 very conservative surges to keep my heart rate elevated. All in alI think it was a positive workout on a sketchy day. I was pretty proud of my determination and what I will call toughness on this afternoon run. Never really expected to get  miles in when I started.

Stats-

Weight = 153 lb

Sleep = seven and a half hours

Morning heart rate = 54 beats per minute

Diet = 8

Indexes are consistent and getting a little better each day. No Achilles issues at all. Plantar fasciitis issues under control. Nothing hurts while I’m running at this point.
