week recap 8/8

Aug 4
Got a long run in after work. Battery on the watch died about 30 min in. Mapped the run to 5.6 mi and really tried to keep the HR low.

Aug 5
Half hour on the bike. Avg HR 146, max 152.
1 mi on the treadmill at 4% - Avg HR 147, max 152.

Aug 6
Indigo Joe's group run. 3.3 mi, Avg HR 150, max 168 (pushed a little hard to get out of the sprinklers before the finish of the course)

Aug 8
Started at Memorial Park around 8am and headed towards the Incline. Had the dog in tow, and he wasn't ready to do the full course. Bailed halfway so I wouldn't have to carry him back down. Kept the HR in check for most of the climb with a couple spikes into the low 160s. And the spike to 224(WTF?) before I even got to Ruxton. I will be replacing the battery in the HR strap before the race on Saturday.

Not looking to do much this week. I'll probably hit Palmer Park on Wednesday morning to get in 5-6 and then a short run Thursday morning. Looks like the weather might be decent for Saturday and I'm getting excited.
