Well, just got back from my first workout using this new heartrate approach. Wow. I was to do 1 mile at easy pace, 4 miles keeping my heart rate in zones 2-3 (roughly 120-140 beats per minute), and then 1 mile easy. That was tough! My easy miles were way faster than the middle 4! I really had to work and be vigilant to keep my heartrate below 140. But I did it, and here’s hoping I’m finally on the road to shedding these last few pounds…..now I’m off to prepare and plan for dual birthday celebrations with family this evening! Have a great day on this beautiful Saturday!!
