Steady and climbing

I now use my HR monitor as a guide to how fast I'll run.

I just can't run any slower than 170bpm (is that unhealthy?) I'll chalk that up to me being really out of shape. I feel good after my runs and I can definitely talk if I need to do so.
Today's pace for the four mile run was 11:30. I think I'm running at a consistent pace as I ran 10:00 for the two mile, 11:00 for the three mile. Definitely feel like I can go faster but I'm trying to keep my bpm steady.

My race day strategy is to run at a consistent pace (whatever it may be that day) and go hard for the last mile as I know I'll be able to finish at that point. I'm hoping to irritate a bunch of runners by passing them by at a lightning pace. Hahaha.... I'm such an idiot at times. But that's why you love me, right Steph?

Steph, please leave yourself some time so you can rreellaaxx. Don't be afraid, I'm giving you permission. Much love from ATL!!!
