September 4 - 6 miles & 3 walk breaks

I'm going to include what I ate for dinner as I think there is some sort of weird correlation between certain things I eat and my running performance. (Last night had chicken and sun dried tomato ravioli, salad, frozen vegetables.) Up at 5:35, wolfed down a piece of toast, out the door and off to the treadmill. The one I like was occupied and my friend was on the next one, running. I opted for one on the other end but then saw the one I liked was now available. (I am pretty particular - apparently!) I jumped on, and warmed up for 5. Then as my friend was finishing she chatted with me for the first 8 minutes of my run (made it go by fast!). I ran for 20 minutes, completing 2 miles in 19:03, then took a 1 min walk break. Ran to three miles, then a one minute walk break, then to four miles in 37:57, then a final walk break. Completed 6 miles in 57:05. Walked to 60 min, rounded it out at 6.2 miles for the day. Average heart rate according to the treadmill and my HR monitor was 168. I saw 190 (for the 1st time in a few years!) at the very end, as I sprinted at 8.7 mph for the last minute to so!
