Cut this one short today. The plan was to go for at least 1hr but I felt this nagging calf ache throughout the run. It seemed to get worse as I continued so figured I could stop to run another day.... read more

Awesome job, Ray. 100 minutes is some solid time on your feet, and nice work trying to stick to your HR zone. It's definitely not easy this time of year. Stay the course, my man, stay the course.

alright Lead Boots? 3.6 mi 00:36 09:56 pace
I ask - Who replaced my shoes with lead boots?! Talk about feeling sluggish. Got through the four planned reps during this workout but it was a struggle. On the plus side, got my run in for the day :)

Good getting in the workout. I've been feeling those lead boots as well lately. My legs have been a bit slow to getting used to the new workout routine, so I totally hear on the sluggishness Ray.

Nice run and miles even though you had to cut it short Ray. You can always try doing a run/walk if your HR is giving you fits on hot/humid days. I turned the beep off on my 305 shortly after I got it because it annoyed the crap out of me when I was HR training. I just look down occasionally to do a quick check on my HR now.
