Headed out this beautiful, frosty morning for a short 3 mile run. The sky was blue and there wasn't a cloud. I was regretting putting a hat on after a while, because even though it was not much more than freezing, I was very warm with the sun beating down.
But I did it in 22:47 which I was pleased about. My calf muscles held up fine although I was a bit tentative on some of the hilly sections. It was a good workout and I look forward to another good week of training.
On another note, today is the day that I can say that I have lost 1 Stone (14lbs) in weight since starting the training. Yeah! Still another half stone or so to go, but I really made an effort last week to eat sensibly and it paid off. I have bulked up a bit with muscle from the swimming so that inevitably adds more weight than losing the same amount of fat. But this month I'll try to get the other 7lbs off and then I'll be happy.
For the stat geeks:
Average hr = 152
Max hr = 187
Total calories = 408
1 minute recovery = 168 to 134
