Just a short run this morning to run a little of the stiffness out of my legs
Felt great til the last Km - straight up Pacific Street. Very glad of my HRM keeping me steady

Queens Drive in toto
Warmer today - comparatively anyway :)
Having seen so much on barefoot running felt quite inspired and worked quite hard on my footstrike - ran further and faster than on Saturday, whilst keeping to the HRM - avge 143 which I was pleased with.
Just wish my Garmin didn't go crazy at the start of most runs which ruins the overall data - my heart rate NEVER gets up to 220!!
Lovely rich smell of Summer foliage - light rain

A chilly day - a longer run
Yes I know it's November, so what should I expect?? Except here is is allegedly early summer!
Remembering that I had made my best progress in running by adhering to the dictat of the heart rate monitor, I embarked on the long generally slow if not VERY slow business of clocking up miles without letting my heart rate go over 70% of max, or 75 on the hills.
Ineveitably at this stage this will mean a lot of walking, as it did.
Anyway - for all the chill, a good run. Some beautiful trees - not yet dived off into the bush but there is plenty of time and scope for that around here - but boy oh boy, those hills!!
