Running with Eric P. is like running with the WIND!

Nice cool start (5:50 am, too). The run started at about 140 bpm on my HR monitor, and I felt like that would be a good pace. Four or five miles later heading south on the west bank of the Willamette, my watch started beeping, telling me that my HR had hit 150. As we crossed the Sellwood Bridge I switched the beep zone up to 160 bpm. Two miles later I hit 160 when Mindy found us. As we crossed back to the west side via Hawthorne Bridge, I maxed at 172.

It was great to run at such a sustained rate - I haven't done that since the March Shamrock Run! And that was a race. Best long run in a long time.

Post run, did not hit refueling well. Became ravenously hungry by 9 am.
