This is the run I took this morning 5/26/2018.
I think this one looks like a Spaceship…. I was going for a flower pot ‘drawing’ but a pack of dogs ‘changed’ my mind, and plus I forgot to bring the pepper spray and the 40 cal too…. so, my artistic effort will have to wait for next time… oh well…. at least I did achieve my 2nd 6 Mile Run on the streets, parking lots, State Highways, and rocky trails, while keeping the Zone Two BPM!!!
I aim to keep my BPM between 127-137 to achieve the optimal training and conditioning my body to improve the ability to exchange the oxygen and fuel, and dispose of the used fuel and used ‘breathing stuff’…. thus improving my running experience and speed for future events.
A BPM high of 162, and a slow walk to bring the bpm down into the acceptable range, and the rest of the morning, even going up steep hills….. I never dropped my pace to walk again, except once.
And that was going up the hill from Hwy 144 all the way to where Contrary Creek intersects with Bluebonnet.
That is, so far, the longest hill I have climbed.
Until that, the corner with the pond at Scenic Drive and Carruth Drive, and the dreaded …
Hill at Knob Hill, and View Point has been the worse.
Today, and two days ago, I did not break pace, I did not walk at any point on THE HILL.
THAT MY FRIENDS is successful IMPROVEMENT!!!
By the way (btw) after next years Half Marathon (13.1 miles) I will then begin to train for a FULL MARATHON…. and after that ….
…. an Ultra Marathon of at least 50 miles.
I think I want to do that Ultra as soon after my 65th Birthday in the year 2020.
I like the way that sounds…..
OK! there it is fans of oldmanskinandbones.com!! He is doing an Ultra of at least 50 miles for his 65th Birthday in 2020!
(Details to follow!)
Wow! THAT IS exciting!!
OK! This is the breakfast I had after this mornings run! (Did I mention Betty will really be pissed at me when she sees I ran Hwy 144 this morning!!! OH NO!!!)
It is ok to be jealous. Behold! the Oven roasted garlic spiced (No Oil) Potato Wedges, Oats(uncooked), New Zealand Spinach, Kale, Blueberries, Watermelon, fresh ground Hibiscus Tea and Flax Seed presented in the delightful ‘seeded’ melon ‘bowl’ …
After you eat a presentation like that, you only have to wash a spoon, knife, and fork after the meal, and put the used bowl in the compost pile!
…. and remember to crop out your feet next time …. (oi vey !)
Ok, I have chores to do, then get ready to take Miss B dancing tonight.
