Year 13!

I began year 13 of Running Every Street several days ago. I'm finally listening to the experts and am spending most of my time 'running slow to run fast'. It's called 'zone 2' running. I actually thought I was doing zone 2 running for awhile now but, according to my new watch, my heart rate needs to be between 107 and 122 to be in zone 2. I've discovered that I actually need to slow down to a fast walk to do that. After having done that for a few weeks, I'm to the point where I need to alternate between a fast walk and a slow jog. I'm hoping that as I build my 'aerobic base' I'll be able to start running the whole time.

A few weeks ago I was in Minneapolis visiting my daughter's family. I was trying to run slower than I've ever run before. I tripped on my own feet. The result:

Be careful out there!
