After a 10 day layoff, I ran 5 miles today. It was 30 degrees when I ran at 8:00 am. It has been cold; 5 degrees kept me from running one morning. I have an excuse for each day, but will save you from reading them.
I ran the 5 miles in 48:13 (9:39 pace). I feel so slow and heavy that I want to give up. I feel like I am having to start over again, and it was torture when I first began running. I do know that it will get better, if I stick to it.
I finally put a new battery in my heart rate monitor: avg. 169, max. 185, rest 66, recovery from 171 to 124. As usual mile 3 was my slowest: 9:01, 9:35, 10:35, 9:24, and 9:38.
