Recovery Day

Today I did a recovery run and it went really well. My HR spiked at the start despite my best efforts to keep it down. I am actually not even sure it was that high and that it wasn’t a connectivity issue. After the first quarter mile I moistened the back of the monitor in hopes of getting a more accurate reading, but the HR stayed up until I had gone a half mile or so then it settled down below 140. My average BpM was 134, about ten less than I was aiming and I ended up having very few spikes. Even the hills coming out of reed couldn’t push it over 144. It wasn’t until I took a big leap over a puddle that it spiked a bit, but it quickly settled down.

I am thinking this run today was an indicator of my improving fitness, makes me very happy.
