Man, the weather was nice today! Ran about 6 and half miles on the trail ...

Just beautiful! Per my new training principal, kept my pulse between 130 and 140 bpm, which means I was running sloooooooooow. That's ok though, I fet great, had great form, and took in the scenery... flora and fauna ;-) . The hope is that keeping the long runs slow means I'll be able to increase the overall weekly miles and feel less beat up at the same time. I also hope to be able to increase the speed at which I can run and still maintain an optimum heart rate.
Got home and weighed 142. Woo hoo! Now, hopefully I didn't ruin that with my lunch trip to Phil's Ice House where I had beer, cheeseburger, and ice cream. Oh well.
I was thinking on the way down to the trail that I can't wait to get back in to a group training environment. Brew runners rock. Will need to consider my options over the summer to run with those guys if I can swing it.

Did you say you got home and weighed 142? That long slow running must really be effective! :)
