I ran my 2nd recovery run using my heart monitor tonight. Following the hard/easy principle I just read about last week, my 2nd recovery run should've happened last Friday. Oh well, that's what 7 consecutive 100+ temperature days and absolutely no rain will get ya. The 2nd recovery run was well worth the wait though as I found it much easier to run at the slower pace tonight. The number confirmed it when I got home; I stayed at or below my recovery floor for 95% of tonight's run compared to 72% last week. Not only did I stay below the floor much longer, my average pace was 20 seconds faster. I didn't have to stop and walk to allow my heart rate to drop below zone nearly as often this time.
Not far from home I actually thought I felt a few drops of rain. I think it was just me sweating on myself though. The threat of rain at least dropped temperatures before I went out to run. I never thought I'd be thrilled to see that the temperature was below 95 at 6:30 in the evening. Now if it would only rain.....
