Peace of Mind
The kids are back at school today, so I was able to get a nice long run in, and I was feeling a little antsy. I got in some running this week but mostly 3 mile runs, which is barely more than a warm up, but better than nothing. I have also worked out on the stationary bike, elliptical machine, and step mill., but there is nothing like going out for a long run to relax my nerves. The weather was nice this morning, about 50 for the whole run. I took it slow for the first three miles, and that felt really good. My heart rate stayed around 155 which is really strange, because it usually jumps to 165 as soon as I start running. After three miles I picked up the pace a little and kept it there for the next 4 miles, to get my heart rate up and burn some calories. Then I took the last two miles easy. Originally I was going to just run 8 miles but I still felt good at 8 and I wanted to burn 800 calories so I ran an extra mile. It was nice to get out and reap the benefits of a long run. Health, clarity of thought, and peace of mind.
