Running...

3 Miles - 32'36" - 177 BPM

1st Mile - 10'07" - 175 BPM
2nd Mile - 11'49" - 175 BPM
3rd Mile - 10'39" - 181 BPM

Trying to do a pacing work out. I wanted to stay at a 10 min/mile pace. I wasn't too successful But when I look at my HR I was pretty good for a pacing workout(I reached the highest BPM ever during that last mile 200). For my second workout in my second week of my base, I feel damn good.

I have this problem though where I feel like I've always been in pretty good shape. So I push myself and then wind up walking to soon. I've never had a weight problem but my smoking has killed my cardiovascular system. A word to the wise, if you want to quit smoking take up a running habit. Trust me. But don't just run a mile...choose a race distance register for a race and do a beginners training program. The goal setting and the constant failure at training will, or at least it did for me, keep you from smoking.

Someday I will be able to run an 8 minute mile at a 135 BPM heart rate.

Peace
