My resting heart rate has been really low for quite some time now, but I have found that the more miles that I log the lower my training average gets. I normally race at about 165 to 170 and have a max of about 185.

And that should continue to happen do to the better aerobic fitness your in. I laugh at how low my HR is on runs @ certain paces now compared to what they a 1,3 and even 5 years ago. It's crazy I tell you.

Well, I've become a believer in the aerobic conditioning after the results of my last race. It'll be interesting to see how far it will take me as I continue to pursue it. But you guys certainly give me hope!

4 mile run tonight and I was glad to get it in with all of the storm watches that were out in our area. I completed 4.20 miles at a 7:25 pace. About 15 minutes after getting home, the thunder started rolling in and the rain began to fall.

Nice healthy run before the storm.

Thanks Kenny...Not much really materialized out of the whole storm thing. Just a few showers...I think the weathermen get a "Weather Woody" everytime there is a chance of severe weather.

Weather woody and pitch a tent. Nice! Thanks for the laugh! lol!

Nick, nice job getting that run in before the storms rolled in. The rain is always nice, but I get a little nervous when I start to see lighting and I have a bit of a ways to go before I'm home.

I have several friends who have run Steamtown and recommend it. I bet you will have a great race! Your training looks great!

With all the severe weather we've had this year, some of those woodies must be worn to a nub . . .

I actually tried to slow myself down...It was a great run...

Nick, best of luck in the Steamtown plans, I've heard it's a good BQ race. I ran CIM a few years ago and really liked it, though you have to prepare for the constant rolling hills. But still, it's a great marathon.
