I weigh 173 this morning. I ran one mile and walked one mile. I burned a whole 189 calories. This makes for a target of 2689 calories. I have consumed 2803 calories due to a rich appke pie. So I am over by 115 calories. I will take care of that tomorrow.

I could not run my normal four mile distance since I appear to be still recovering from yesterday. I broke another personal record yesterday by running a 13 minute and 20 second mile. My first two miles are better than my last two, with the second mile being my best. I averaged a heart rate of 161 when this is normally about 155 or less. Quite a workout. What is interesting is that this required less effort than it has in the past, so I was able to spread my legs a bit more running faster allowing me to come up with this personal record. I still was not as tired as I have been in the past when I finished running the first two miles.

Why did this all of the sudden happen to me? Was it due to the three days that I took off from running? Maybe after a week or two of rigorous running, I need two take a few days off to fully recover? This would be to allow the muscles to fully repair?

Right now my back is aching. I have been sleeping on ir, and I think my run did not help. I will walk at least four miles. I will see what I am up to doing tomorrow morning.
