This past week has been the first real week of training since the March half marathon.<\/p>\n
Let’s just say that the extra hot and humid weathe rof the summer really de-motivated me over much of the summer. Some weeks I only ran once. Yikes!<\/p>\n
For the week, I finished 27 miles this morning and my legs are a little sore. The heat\/humidity seems to really take it out o fme. My heartrate has been extremely high for the amount of effort I’m putting into my runs. I had a 5 mile run on Friday that was at pace i.e. as fast as I could muster and my heartrate quickly leveled off at 173-177 bpm for the last 2 or 3 miles!! I completed that run in about 40 minutes. That was one of the hardest workouts since earlier this year. The heat sucks!<\/p>\n
I am looking forward to the fall and cooling temperatures.<\/p>\n
I am using a marathon training guide to help me with my cardio and it should help shed some unnecessary pounds. I think by the time the half marathon comes I’ll be down to an acceptable weight that will allow me to meet my goal of 1 hour and 30 minutes or less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
