Back on the Technogym... Four miles in fifty minutes... meaning I ran 12.5 minute miles. I was keeping a good eye on my heart rate, and I'm not sure what the average was. But, this is progress, I was at 3.6 miles at 45 minutes into my running, which is more than my previous runs.
I'll probably go back to my first program (45 min) according to heart rate on Wednesday morning, and maybe Friday after work too. And, I'll have to attempt the four miles again next Monday.
A lot of work comes though through the next couple weeks. The running has been helping to keep me in good spirits, good eatings, and feeling well enough to enjoy good company. I feel really good right now, despite still not knowing what is going on internally.

More Technogym Training
Another 3.5 miles to add to the distance for this morning. I continued to run at an average pace of 4.4 mph. I believe my avg HR was either 174 or 178, either way higher than I want it. I may have been a bit dehydrated, but I felt good running. I felt easier this morning than when I began running again just a couple weeks ago. Today was 48 minutes of running.
I think I will attempt Sunday a fast mile for time and Monday a 50 min run alternating between 5mph (7 min) and 6mph (2min) followed by a 3mph minute... repeating five times. I should be able to reach 4 miles that way, but I need to keep an eye on this heart!

"Muscle for Rank"
Quick note on this morning's run:
Comparable to the last 45 min run, with a five minute walk prior, I ran with a HR avg of 172 bpm, at an average pace of 6.4 mph overall, and completing 3.43 miles of distance. I ran the first 10 min at a 5.4 mile pace and then started the intervals when my heart rate got too high. I may have to attempt a heart rate program on the Technogym key to monitor my heart rate training without having to keep such a close eye on it myself. I will have to ask my superiors about that tomorrow. Goodnight!

Running Forward
"Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play"
CURRENT CARDIORESPIRATORY TRAINING PROGRESS
1st Aug. ... (post 5min warmup) 1 fast mile -running only- [test] in 10min with an avg HR of 188bpm
31st July ... (post 5min warmup) walked/ran 3.3 miles with an avg hr of 164bpm over 45min
27th July ... 2.5 miles 5-10min walk warmup, 25min run (avg 183 bpm during running)
Tomorrow morning will be another long 45min walk/run test. Tuesday will be rest!
I wanted to write a lot more, but I can feel myself fading fast. I'm extremely happy that I no longer need my ankle supports with my new shoes that have a perfect arch for my foot; I'm tempted to buy a backup supply! I am also working hard at cleaning up my diet and made amazing meals today including this chicken rice soup! The best part was it was quick and easy, and even better it made the house smell great!
