Lunchtime run w/ Darin. Wore HRM for the first time in a while. As suspected, my HR was a bit higher than I was seeing prior to SGM. I finished the last mile in 6:41, with a max HR fo 173, while the majority of the run was above 150. (I was seeing HR about 10 bpm lower at this effort prior to SGM. I gained a little weight and cut back on the miles, and my fitness shows it)

It started raining as soon as Darin left on this run. We got about a mile out and saw lightning. It looked like it was far way, so we kept going. At about 1.5 miles, it was very close, so we turned around. We avoided the lightning but got drenched.

Solo lunchtime run. Because yesterday's run was cut short by rain, I decided to run today. (normally, I run every-other-day). The calf is feeling good (I hope I don't jinx it).
