Check-in

[yvi]

Hey runners! Here is your irregularly scheduled check-in. How have you been these past few weeks?

This is race season, so I am sure quite a few of you are either racing or training for races - tell us about it!

My regular easy-to-moderate runs are up to 4 miles, woot! \o/ And my pace is still ridiculously slow, but it's improving. I think I'm going to sign up for a 5-mile race in June; that'll be my first race in about three years.

Yesterday I forgot to put on my HR monitor strap. I missed it.

4 miles being easy-to-moderate sounds pretty impressive to me, so congrats :)

Yesterday I was already well on my way to the park when I realized I had forgotten my music. Missed that.

How do you FORGET to put on your strap? For me it's like forgetting to put on my shoes!

Yay for being up to 4 miles.

Complete flakiness. And I got dressed at home, but I ran at the indoor track at the gym--the weather sucked--so I didn't realize the strap was missing till I was there. I think I kept my HR pretty close to target, but probably a few beats higher than it would have been had I been looking at the number.

And, yeah, hitting four miles is huge. I always get frustrated because progress takes so long, but it does happen.
