Squeezed in a run home from work last night -- 8.2 km. A bit stop start and heart rate at about 130, pace around 5:00/km. It was more recovery and a few km in the log book than anything else.
Up this morning at 5:10 and out the door for 18.4 km of a targeted upper aerbic workout. It is getting to the point where it is almost too much hard work on the legs to get the heart rate up to 150. I had a few laps up in that range and the pace was around 4:00-4:04/km for the downhills and 4:06-4:10/km for the uphills. Average heart rate for the whole run was 142 and average pace 4:26/km. Whatever the averages mean! It was a very brisk 14 degrees on the thermometer too. Quite a contrast to two months ago.
Work and life have been hectic and making it hard to fit in runs and blog entries. Correspondence is well behind, so apologies to anyone I owe a reply to.

About Me
- Stephen Lacey
- Born in 1963 under a camphor laurel tree beside Bilambil Creek, I now live in Tokyo with my Japanese wife and three sons. I started running in 2002 and my addictive personality soon clasped this foolish pastime to its bosom. I am also an enthusiastic amateur brewer and have won a few competitive home brewing awards in my time. Diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2015, today I can no longer run, and my blog posts are more likely to concern the waxing and waning of my condition.
