Finally Friday!

So - another week is gone. But where is the summer??? It seems like no one is having a real summer this year. Here, in Warsaw, it's rain, rain, rain, and a little bit of sun...
Well, I guess complaining won't help much here, so just need to adjust to this.
On the running front, this week was a bit hampered by a sudden overload of work, but still managed to do a tempo run on Wed - 11km at 11kph pace followed by an easy 9 km on Thursday. So, what have I learned from these 2 sessions? That over the past year my heart rate has lowered! I was training with heart rate monitor for a while, but due to both my laziness and technical malfunction I've stopped. This week I've decided to borrow M's just to see how I'm doing, and voila! On the recovery run I was able to keep my heart rate between 140 - 145, which was impossible to do a year ago. Even on the tempo run, I averaged at 163, which is pretty low for me.

Tomorrow I'm attempting a 17km long run. Weather gods - cooperate!
