ran into work -- Recovery 10 miles

today's training: 10.45 miles, home to work, 1:49:05, (10:26 min/mi), 141 bpm/max 156/4:10 above 150

Man I love running into work. 1:40:00 on a treadmill was pure torture. This just flew past.

Today also felt like something of a breakthrough. I finished a little faster than previous runs, my average heart rate was lower, and my monitor didn't beep at me much (I made it over some hills that I used to have to walk). I also hit a light for about 2:30 that I didn't hit the other runs. Here are the last three runs to work

• 1:50:24 avg 144/159 max/10:30 above 150
• 1:49:53, avg 144/160 max/10:40 above 150
• 1:49:05, avg 141/156 max/4:10 above 150

It's only 3 bpm, but it felt pretty significant and 6 less minutes of beeping is noticeable. I wonder if it was my 10 miles at 10-mile race pace on Sunday? I'm ambivalent about adding in some tempo runs. I'm also very uncertain about what pace to run my long run on Sunday at. 17 miles also gets my attention a little more than it has since I haven't run more than 13 since the marathon almost 4 weeks ago and that 13 didn't go too well.

The foot pod stayed on the whole time just to mess with me.
