Okay, so I hit the treadmill at Gold’s right after dinner at Taco Cabana. Not real smart, but sometimes that’s just how it goes.

Started out by stretching, then doing two minutes of walking, then stretching again. Next, in six minute increments separated by stretches, I did a 10 minute pace, two 8.5 minute paces, a 9 minute pace, and a final 10 minute pace, for 30 minutes total. My knee felt a little sore at a couple of points, but its certainly on the mend.

I’m still concerned about my heartrate. It felt really warm, I was sweating, and I really didn’t want to do the last burst. At one point, my pulse was up at 174! This is, to put it mildly, not normal for me at this speed for a three mile run. Ah, well. I’ll mention it to the doctor next Thursday when I have my follow-up. Still, it will be interesting to see what happens on Saturday when I have my 9 miler.

BTW, the miles remaining doesn’t really have anything to do with what I do on a specific day - basically, if I was to stick 100% to the AustinFit schedule, that’s how many miles I would have left to do. Since I’m fairly close to it most weeks, it should be somewhat accurate.
