My first naked run ever. Well it was as naked as I would ever get. I still wore my trusty Polar HR monitor but I refused to look at it during the run to check either pace or effort. In terms of clothing I almost overdressed with long sleeve Coolgear but as soon as I stepped outside I went back and changed into a singlet. It was 67F by this time and I felt pretty hot. So it was naked in terms of monitoring but I was still fully clothed. I just ran the run based on how I felt. It was really hard not to take a peek at my known mile markers to see my splits but I resisted and I only checked my time and effort once I got home. Pace was 7:40/mile and the effort was 69% HRR. I really wanted to run an easy run today and even though it's still a fairly easy pace and effort this one wasn't as easy as I had hoped for in terms of what my pace and HR shows. I wanted to run closer to 8 minute and I wanted to run around 62% HRR. It just shows that I really need to keep my watch on to keep me honest and not push myself too much on easy days. I'll be the 3:20 pacer (7:38/mile) for Cowtown so I'll chalk this one up as a pacing training run.
