This is my first workout since Thanksgiving Day. We had a new addition to the family so I had planned on some time off. I kept telling myself, if nothing else, get started back on Jan 1st, so that is what I did. I tried to run at a decent pace witho... read more

Here is the new edition to the Taylor Clan. Her name is Maggie Love Taylor and she is a fighter. She came a little premature, but weighted in at 7lbs 7oz and 19.5 inches long. Both mom and baby are doing good.

Actually things are going well. Maggie is sleeping a lot better than our first one did. Last night was rough cause I am sick and LeighAnn ended up on the couch. No fun. But the baby is sleeping a good 3 to 5 hours at a time.

A new personal best! One year ago today was my first ever race as an adult. It was this same Turkey Trot. I was looking forward all year to get another crack at this race. Last year I ran it in 27:42 and my goal this year was 25. Talking with Devi... read more

This week I have the 5k Turkey Trot. I thought I would mellow out and take Grace for a run. Those hills sure are fun when you have a 35.9 lb kid in the Jeep stroller. We bought the Jeep stroller because of the big oversized tires (kinda like my Rubi... read more

I am still getting over being sick, and I have been using that as part of my excuse to not workout. Ange called me out today and asked how I was going to run a personal best in a week when I have not been working out. So, I got off my butt and did a ... read more

Whoo hoo! My work here is done! LOL! That's a fabulous time. Looks like you'll smash that PB. Hope it helps you get some better sleep tonight.

wow...that's a pretty high heart rate. Is that usual for you? Or do you think it was because of your sickness and hard workout combination? All I know is if I get to 170, I'm feeling pretty nasty. That might be why you felt sick to your stomach. I usually feel sick with any heart rate over 170 and you averaged 177!
4 months ago -
My Garmin shows that my heart rate is usually higher than most people weather I am working hard or doing an easy workout. I have been wanting to try a different heart rate monitor to see if it is my monitor that is the difference.
My resting heart rate is pretty good (under 60), but when I start to move around it will jump pretty quick. When I am done working out, it will drop pretty quick too. It has been going down over the past year as I have been getting in better and better condition.

We can meet up and you can borrow my heart rate monitor, it's really good. I would still check with your doctor about that, that's really high...I don't want to scare you, but I'd be concerned. Mine drops pretty quick too, and I also have a higher than average heart rate, and always have, but I still make sure mine doesn't go above 165, if it does, I slow down until it gets to at the most 160. Plus, it never hurts to go to the doctor and get a physical.

I know, I know. I am actually in pretty good shape tough (for me). I have tapered off since my last Triathlon (by design). But I plan on running today and through the weekend. My goal is a new PR at 25 minutes. We will see.

Easy run. Nice and cool. I wanted to do a light run at around a 9:09 pace, but ended up pushing a little harder than that. I am still learning what different paces feel like so no biggy. Good run.

excellent run!
