    I had a really good race pace run this morning. I got a warning on my phone while running, that the volcano near us is steaming, though. This run was so much fun. I l really love running. Running makes me happy. One day, I want to run in and complete a marathon. | Strava

  • I am so happy! Ivan called from Navy boot camp. He said that he is doing well. He is passing everything, including the physical fitness test, and his 9mm handgun qualification. He earned a marksman ribbon for his uniform. I am so excited and happy for him. This is bringing back so many memories. The torch has been passed. Please keep Ivan in your prayers. Thank you all so much.

  • Well, Ivan did not call. That is disappointing. Maybe he will call tomorrow.

  • My 4 Mile Interval Training Run (18-11-2024)

    https://broreyn.wixsite.com/rpreynoldsjourney/post/my-4-mile-interval-training-run-18-11-2024
    My training run this week, increased from 3.5 miles to 4 miles. Today was the first 4 miler. I was going to do intervals today, but a older man that walks out there on the sidewalk often decided to join me when he saw me walking. He does not run, so I decided to just walk for the most part, until about the end of the run. I then did some very short intervals. I am ok with that. It was still a good run. Max heart rate only reached 137 bpm. I also got some sun, which is good.

  • Tomorrow, I am scheduled for a 4 mile interval training run. These runs are so much fun. I cannot wait for it. I am going to try to keep my heart rate in the aerobic range, which is about a3-4 exertion bursts of speed on a scale of 1-10, and then walk, then repeating.

  • I did an easy paced long run this morning. My watch said 8 miles. I converted it to Strava and Strava said 8.32 miles. So I do not know really. For the last couple of weeks or so, I have been doing low heart rate training. My heart rate was supposed to be around 120 bpm on this easy paced run, but the max was in the 140's. I checked my watch a lot during my run, and did not see it go above 130 bpm. Maybe it is the hills that are doing it, but I cannot get away from them. There are so many hills and mountains here in the Philippines. I even walked a majority of this run. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my heart rate to come down. On my long run last Saturday, it only reached 127 bpm. Thank you all so much for any help I can get.

    I did an easy paced long run of 8 miles this morning. That is what my watch said, but Strava says 8.32 miles. So, I do not know. I walked a majority of it, to try to keep my heart rate down to around 120 bpm. That did not work out. My max ended up in the 140's for 1% of the run/walk. I do not understand that. I kept checking my watch, and I did not see it go over 130 bpm. I will work on it.
