WX at 0800: 84.0 (28.9) DP 79.0 (26.1) BP 29.99 (1015) SW 10 RH 84

Odometer 3: 60.6.mi

Z3.
Average/max heart rate = 148/160

The heart rate is deceptively low for the amount of work I felt like I was doing, although it accurately reflects speed. There are two possible explanations for this. One could be that my legs are tired, which might be the case since I've done more sustained running the past three weeks than I have in a long, long while.

Another reason might be running on sidewalks and grass rather than pavement. I can feel some of that since my legs are tired in ways they usually aren't, which implies I'm using stabilizer muscles I don't normally use at Fort Leavenworth or on pavement.

Another could just be the heat and humidity. I don't normally run when it's above 80 if I don't have to, and the humidity was lower than usual at 84. Consequently, i just don't feel normal while running.

I still need to get at it. I know for a fact I'll pick up involuntary rest days because of an impending drive back to Kansas from here.
