Heart Rate

 I ran 6 miles, or most of it, this morning. I say "most of it" because my heart rate got into the upper 150s a few times, so I walked about three minutes or so. I probably could have continued running since I didn't feel bad or like I was struggling, but I also consider it better to be safe. It's not like I'm training for a race or something. I chalk up today's elevated rate with yesterday's going off the rails with food and snacks and desserts. Not one of my better days in that regard and I paid the price a little bit today. Even with all that, my run today felt good. I ate breakfast and drank some coffee before going out, as opposed to the last few times where I've run first thing after waking up. I was in no rush today to get the run done early. For anyone keeping score at home, yes, I missed Thursday's run. It was our anniversary and we went out for a nice dinner. Not really an excuse, just a reason.
