Warming Up

Ran 6.1 miles @ 8:28/mile pace.
AHR = 145
Paved roads.
Slightly hilly.
Mid 30s, sunny.

Sunny skies and temps in the mid-30s felt downright tropical today. It was nice to be able to run with just a long sleeve shirt on over a short sleeved one and long pants. Ah, the freedom.

My left knee sprain made itself known again today. Felt it again out of the blue when I woke up this morning, and definitely noticeable during the run. I don't think it's that big of a deal, but it does warrant careful monitoring. May take a rest day tomorrow as a precaution. In the meantime, plenty of ice and anti-inflammatories.

The run itself... took it slow and easy with the goal of not letting my heart rate get above 149. I set the alarm on my Forerunner to go off when it got above that. Very nifty for sure, not to mention valuable. This gadget continues to impress me.
