Painting at Dawn

Run, early AM, 14 total miles, first six at 140 bpm.

To do the 14 miles on a 3 mile out and back course, I needed to have a one mile mark from my start point (6+6+2=14). So I packed a can of spray paint on my way out the door this morning. My plan was to paint a hash line and a big white "1". You should know that my route has had virtually no traffic since I have been running there and it was 5:45 am. So there I was painting away when a car and driver go by with a "what the heck are you doing" look. Odd coincidence, obviously not a deterent though, I did a half-mile hash as well.

In general, I did not feel too great. No excuses, but it was a grind. The rest of the week will be about the bike.

33:17 for first 3 miles
32:32 for second 3 miles
So, first 6 in 65:49 or 10:59/mile (so much for progress vs. last week)
8 more miles at 8 minute/mile pace, chucked the heartrate monitor for better or worse.
