Sometimes You Walk

I did get out early, as planned, before the heat sets in. It was a run of varied success. The first half went well, but in the second half my heart rate kept jumping up into the mid-150s, which I felt was too high for what I wanted to accomplish. What was that? Getting out and running at a slow pace. I got in 4 miles overall, with more walking than I wanted, but sometimes you just have to walk. Seemed like plenty of people out walking, running, and cycling. I took the route through Creekview that provides the most amount of shade, but wow, when I'm on the return route that area that goes around the pond is a section where the breeze kind of dies. That probably didn't help with the heart rate. I'm glad I got out and who knows? Maybe I'll walk tomorrow morning just because I can.
