    good Morning slow 4 4 mi 00:48 12:01 pace

    Avg HR 146. I find it ironic that sub 12 paces are usually lower than my 12+ paces. Today this was not fun. I REALLY wanted to go faster and just be done. But I behaved!

      Look at you! Something tells me that now that you're not fighting it (which means you're stronger than me) you're going to pick up the pace with your HR training too. Awesome job sticking to it today!

      It has to be hard trying to get your HR to calm down in this heat! I don't blame you for just chucking the HR worries - and going for it!! Great miles in the heat!!

      The paces are so slow that its easy to add to my day. Barbara I have that trouble too so I REALLY had to slow my paces down and I always walk my cool down. I can not take my HR from zone 3 or 4 without stopping all together.

      I can usually handle zone 3 pretty well and just keep jiving, but when I hit zone 4 for a couple of miles, I start to fade pretty quickly. You are still totally getting stronger and faster and rockin' while you're doing it too!
