Today's run....sort of

So, I've been using a Garmin Forerunner 301 GPS / HRM running computer.  I got a great deal on it used from the Craigslist for $75.   I've been using the Garmin Training Center to log my workouts.  I think it's really convenient.

So in this morning's post I set my target to keep my workouts for the next 3 weeks in the 120 - 130 bpm range.  Holy cow is that difficult, frustrating, and boring!  I set the HRM alarm for an alert at 140 bpm so the plan is to slow down to a walk, and recover at the 140 mark.    The chart show's that it only takes like 1 minute of jogging at what I feel a comfortable pace is before I hit the 140 alarm and have to slow down to a walk.  I was really surprised at how much I was walking and recovering.  I think tomorrow I'll set the alarm at 135 and see if I can do better.
