HHM Challenge - No Run #17, #18, & #19

Didn't make it out yesterday for my run as I needed to do some Xmas shopping (food, not gifts). Not making it out today (not sure why) and tomorrow being Christmas Eve, I won't get a chance to run either. At the moment, the next time I hope to run is Saturday. That will make it a week between runs. Hard to be consistent, but expected at this time of the year.

HHM Challenge - Run #43

Made it out for a LSR today. Went farther than what was expected, but shorter than I was planning. Overall it was a good run.

Here are my numbers

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	LSR	10:1s	very good
Distance	12 Km	14.32 Km	total: 233 km
Pace	7:19	7:06	little fast
Average HR	127-145	150	close
Max HR	181	167	decent
Calories Burned		1904	total: 28521

Like I said above, it was a good run, especially since it was -9 C out there.

HHM Challenge - Run # 42

Great run.

Here are my numbers

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Steady	13:1s	very good
Distance	6 Km	6 Km	total: 218.68 km
Pace	7:19	6:48	little fast
Average HR	127-145	158	little high
Max HR	181	246	WHAT!$#@!
Calories Burned		789	total: 26617

Other than the fact that my HR was off (I should have died if my HR actual did hit that high) it was a great run. My pace was a little fast, but I wasn't trying to be fast. I just went out and did a comfortable run and those were my numbers from that.

HHM Challenge - No Run #15 & #16

I was planning on going out for a run today, even though it is -9 C out there, but I was just told I have a meeting I have to be in at 1pm. That doesn't leave me enough time to run, shower, and have some sort of juice/lunch before the meeting. So I won't make it out today.

Tomorrow is my office's Xmas party, starting at noon, so that means I won't be making it out then either.

This weekend, my buddy (the same one I run with on occasion) is turning 40, so we will be celebrating Saturday night. This means that I'm going to push my Sunday LSR to Saturday, and my Saturday Steady run to Friday.

Oh well, I figured as I got closer to the holiday season, some runs might be missed.

HHM Challenge - Run #41

Was suppose to be a 5k Tempo run, but due to lack of sleep over the past few nights (I know, no excuses allowed), I had no energy to run.

Here are my numbers

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Tempo	various	not good
Distance	5 Km	4 Km	total: 212.68 km
Pace	6:36	8:00	not good
Average HR	145-163	135	too low
Max HR	181	157	too low
Calories Burned		466	total: 25828

Walked way more than I should have and that brought all my numbers down. Hoping tomorrow is better.

HHM Challenge - Run # 40

Went out for my LSR today and had full intentions of running 16km. Unfortunately I ran into some chaffing issues (chest area) and I couldn't make it back, so I called a friend and he came got me at 9km.

Here are my numbers

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	LSR	10:1	good
Distance	16 Km	8.93 Km	total: 208.68 km
Pace	7:19	7:23	good
Average HR	127-145	157	little high
Max HR	181	170	little high
Calories Burned		1173	total: 25362

As you can see, everything was in line for a good run, just had some personal issues that prevented me from doing well. There's always next week.

HHM Challenge - Run #39

After 1 week off, I finally made it out for a run. Today I took my dog for the first snow run of the season. Sidewalks were not cleared making it a little slippery in spots, but I managed.

Here are my numbers

		My results	Comments
Type of Run	Steady	10:1	not bad
Distance	5 Km	5 Km	total: 199.75km
Pace	7:19	7:21	perfect
Average HR	127-145	160	little high
Max HR	181	172	little high
Calories Burned		657	total: 24189

As you can see, my HR was a little high, but expected after 1 week off. Overall, it was a good run. Tomorrow should be interesting with a 16k run planned.
