Its been 2 weeks!

Back to work after 2 weeks of no treadmill.   Logged a 5Ker at lunch @ 5:00 pace along
with a .2K 4:45 fartlek at the 4K mark followed by a cool down.  

HR was higher today ... vacations are hard on me!

Trail Sunday

Last day of this round of Summer Vacation.  Nice and warm again.   Concentrated on taking care of things and slowing down.  It was really a very pleasant  but slow 10.2 Ks.  

Warm Trails

Waited for the heat of the day then looped the backyard trail logging 15.7Ks in just a little under 2.5 hours...slow by design and I liked it!

Trail Friday

Looping again today logging 10.9 Ks .... did one extra lap barefoot just to see what it was like.   The cool earth under foot was neat ,  pine needles were fantastic but twigs not so much.   Will have to try this again ...very interesting.

Thursday Trail - HR Watching

10.2 K logged on the backyard trail today.

Overlayed HR over elevation.

First 6 laps  CW...

Second 6 laps CCW ...

Both segments were done in the same average pace.   Going CW most of the elevation gain is in one short distance  around 30 meters or so.  Going CCW the elevation gain is over 200 meter distance  or so...more gradual but a much longer climb.   In each segment I walked the last climb.  HR dropped on the walk and took awhile to return to the avg when  I got going again.   Going CCW is better because I pushed the HR up to Zone 3.

Hard to belive its the identical trail done at an identical pace!

Trail Wednesday

10.6 K looping on the backyard trail.

Tractor Trails and Back Roads

Tractor Trails and Back Roads  this eve.  Temps were 12C cooler then yesterday at 15C.    Logged 10.3 Ks I was only planning a little out and back 5 Ker but it felt good so I kept going.
