Its my brother's 78th birthday today and he defies any images of "old". In his case age is just a number. He still does his Air Force exercises everyday, takes an acute interest in everything going on in the world and takes time to play - be it golf, walking the dog, or travel. He is an inspiration to me.
Today was long run - 85 minutes. I did 87 minutes. Went to Beaver Lodge lands and ran the trails there. I wore my trail running shoes and I was still able to keep my form while running. I kept thinking of running behind Dave through those trails and how light he was on his feet, even though he was carrying about 25 lbs of body weight more than when he was in training.
I wore my heart rate monitor and my heart rate varied between 140 and 151. I think the highest it went was to 153. Those are within the range of what it should be for my "easy" runs. I ran with 2 small flasks of water in my fuel belt and consumed 2 Mentos on way to Beaver Lodge lands and two around the 1 hour mark. Took sips of water about every 15 minutes and only consumed about 6 ounces.
Had to do my usual break about 20 minutes into the run. Thank goodness for bushes. Now my feet are sore, but my knees feel pretty good and that is my weak spot.
