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.

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!

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.

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.
