So hungry…

Could be taken a couple of different ways I suppose.  Although the meaning of this title is literal.  I’m STARVING.  Perhaps not as starving as some Africans, but still, starving.

Running training again today.  I really did not feel like doing it today.  I don’t know if it was lack of motivation, cause I am feeling motivated, just fatigue perhaps.  I slept well enough last night, but still took a while getting to sleep.  I think I may have been too well intentioned – the lights went off at about 8.30, but I struggled to sleep then.

I think the HRM worked pretty consistently today, although I really can’t be sure as I can’t say I was checking it a lot.  I think it may have not worked for the first run.  The zones seem pretty accurate though.  I would say the H zone was mostly running (I do have a very high HR when I run) and the top end of the hills, and the M zone would, I assume have been from the walk intervals and bike recovery. 

Considering my condition before the workout, I was pretty pleased with how I went.  The running was still a bit tough, and to be expected.  I think though the shorter ones are getting easier, and I found on the longer ones that I was struggling at 9.2, but was more comfortable at 9.5.   Hmmm.
