Recovery run. Very slow and easy this morning, and it felt just right. 59F with a 58F dewpoint isn't as nice as it sounds, but it's better than it has been the past few days. Standing around HR got as low as 50, but was steady at 53, so I'll go with that. Recovery from the quarters seemed to be taken care of, but the legs felt a bit heavy today, and the slow pace felt good. Overall HR average for the run was 122, which has to be my lowest ever for a fairly long run. Maximum was 140, which I hit going up a hill at the end of the run.
Spent some time exploring and piecing together a course for a half-marathon that is coming up next month. So far, I have a too long version and a too short version. It's a point to point course with a large loop in the middle, so it's tough to come up with edits. It's going to be a nice course when it's done, though. Ten miles of riverside asphalt bike paths through the city's greenway, then three plus miles down a long, stretch of road shaded with 50 foot high American Elm trees. Makes me want to go for a run just thinking about it.
