I ran this morning for the first time in about two weeks. It was the first time I'd run with a HR monitor in months. I just kept my normal steady, plodding pace. The final estimate was 10.47 min/mile, but my average HR was 176 with a peak of 186! (That last came at the top of the final 0.3 mile hill.) Sad....
James is stirring a bit more today. He spent most of yesterday inert on the couch or in my chair, covered head to toe with his sheet, like a shroud. The only thing he ate all day was a bowl of soup last night. He spent this morning in similar fashion, though he did manage to eat half a bowl of oatmeal. Now he is sitting in his chair and looking at the computer. In spite of his puny condition I gather he still plans to have his mother and brother down tomorrow because he said we needed to clean. (Ugh.) I was kind of hoping he would give himself an extra day to recover--and me an extra day for cleaning as well as riding my bike. We have a limited number of sunny days and with the cool temps, I prefer riding in the early afternoon. Guess that won't happen tomorrow. :(
