Monday 011909 10 miles

• Back down from the mountains.  I was hoping for some good weather when we got back into town, but as we sailed into the flats, I could see the winds blowing.  Whatever.  I just need to get over this wind thing.
• Warmed up, a bit w/Lucy and the Frisbee, and tried to shake the car ride from my legs.  It was warm (60s) but windy.  Continued to warm up after I dropped Lucy off - until 20 minutes.  Then did 5 x 4 minutes on, 2 minutes off.  It was hard to judge pace - effort in the wind, but I am guessing it was half marathon-10k pace effort.  I did three heading up north into the wind and two more back down.
• Recovered about a mile or so and then finished it off with six thirty second strides at 5k, building to mile pace with full recovery time in between.  10 miles, 70 minutes.
• It felt good to get a timed workout going outdoors, rather than doing it exclusively on the mill.  The effort was not a killer, but it is clear that I am not completely used to this stuff yet.
• I checked my resting HR this AM up in the mountains.  It was 52 the first minute I checked it, and 48 the last.  So we will cal that 50.  I think (although I need to recheck tomorrow AM) that is about six beats higher than down here at home.
