Running Against the Wind

Six miles yesterday, outside. Sunny, but cold. And windy - I had a headwind for most of the way home. Fun!

Stats:

5.86 mi
1:12:05
12:18 average pace
8:58 max pace
154 bpm average hr
167 bpm max hr
944 cal
161 cal/mi

Not too bad, though I was shooting for 11:32 pace. But I'll take 12:18, considering the temperature and wind, and my current state of fitness.

Next week I'll try to keep my heart rate up a bit higher - I think it should be closer to the upper 150s (but anywhere between 153 and 163 is okay).

This afternoon I felt dizzy and strange -- I think I just needed food, though. After three snacks in a row (including chocolate frosting spread on graham crackers...that's approved by Runner's World, I'm sure!), I feel 80% better.
