Sucking wind

ORN: Five kilometers in 31:59 -- this is a result I can be proud of considering that I took a week off due to illness. The good thing about this run was that I actually did it. I was approaching the dangerous point of sinking into laziness. I should have run yesterday, but I didn't because I was simply lazy. Too bad, too, because it was a gorgeous 60° and sunny. Simply hitting the bricks and running was a good thing. The bad thing about this run was that my heart rate was unusually high given my perceived effort. I was running on the hard side of easy [if that makes any sense], so I expected my heart rate to be more moderate. 147 BPM is average for me and what I would have expected; today's was about 156 BPM. The anomaly is probably caused by the week off and the illness.
