Run in the rain

What a crappy weekend!! Nothing but rain, great for the lawn but no so great for crunkmaster G. Got out and did a 10.5 miler today. Pretty miserable. Did not let my HR get over 170; I'm going to have more than enough high heart rate days this week. Felt strong!! Hip flexors started to tweak at around mile 8.5. Tried to compensate by stretching out my stride and trying to relax. Here's what it looked like:

Came in at 1:31:30 or a minute and a half off last weeks time. It's funny how fast the HR drops, just past the 1/2 way point I walked through a gel and the HR went right to 130. I wonder how the lack of hills in Mexico will affect pace. Ups slow the pace, but I know that I am not pushing on the downs.

Distance: 10.5 miles Pace: 8:43 Average HR: 158
