A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who’s beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

another busy day that ended in a great run

I had another smokin’ busy day at work – a day that ended in a meeting going extra long making my run home happen later. Regardless, it was a run that felt so easy I found myself smiling most of the way. Details:

Time: 1 hour, 29 minutes
Miles: 10.4
Pace: 8:33 minutes per mile (it’s becoming easier and easier to imagine running faster than that for 26.2 miles)
Average Heart Rate: 163 bpm (a real sweet spot near the low end of my “easy” heart rate zone)

Following the crappy start to my running week, it’s a nice feeling to have lightness return to my steps. That said, I’m still going to do my next two runs at easy pace (8:30 to 9:00 min/mile) to rest up from the previous two weeks hard work.
