I\u2019ve ran 220 miles in the last 7 months, averaging 10:19min\/mile, with an average heart rate of 165bpm. I was expecting to see larger differences in average heart rate from when I started. In January, my average HR was 168bpm, and it\u2019s currently averaging 163. And my average speed is getting faster, that much is clear, but not by any great shakes. And I\u2019ve dropped about 5 pounds that has consistently stayed off.<\/p>\n<p>I think the biggest difference is probably in how I feel about running, which there\u2019s no good stat to measure. I\u2019m enjoying it more, now that I\u2019m not having the chronic pain I was leading up to the half marathon, and it\u2019s easier (even if I\u2019m not getting that much faster). It makes me want to try to lose some more weight and see if that\u2019ll make it easier. It also makes me want to do a full marathon\u2026 something I would have never dreamed of attempting only a year ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning was my last long run before Ragnar.
