Thursday’s Run

Gary — Fri, 09 May 2008 01:00:00 +0000

I ran a slow five miles on Lady Bird Lake this evening. I ran from the Mopac bridge to to the Congress avenue bridge on the south side of the lake. Then doubled back to the Pfluger Bridge and crossed to the north side of the lake. Over the next month or so I will have to get so I run to I35 on a weekly basis. The weather was warm but not too bad.

It was my first run with the new Garmin. It worked great, I did have some trouble uploading the files to Motionbased. I think the problem was on the Motionbased side however and not with my Garmin.

Long Easy Run At the Gym

I did a long easy run at the gym this evening. I ran for a hour, burned 550 calories and covered a little over four miles. For most of the way, I had the speed set at five MPH. Every ten minutes I would slow down for a drink of water, then for the last several minutes I set the speed up to six MPH.

Here is my heart rate for the run:

5 Mile Easy Run

This morning I went for an easy run. I was planning to do 12 miles, my last long run was 10 miles, but that was under ideal conditions: I was running about 20 miles per week, I was 5 lbs lighter, had not given blood during the previous week and I had not been to Switzerland for my daughters wedding. Anyway I did about 5 miles.

Here is the Garmin Connect view of the run.

New Long Run

I have added a new advanced workout to my Garmin 305. The name is “Nov Long Run” and consists of the following steps:

Wait for lap key
12 miles with not target speed, heart rate or time.
cool down for 1 mile

Hopefully, I will get to use this sometime this month. Next weekend is the Gruene bike ride and the Kormen 5K. Then it will be getting close to Thanksgiving and who nows when I can get 2 hours for running.
