Wow, I shaved some more time off my route!  I did my two miles in 32:48.  Not exactly a qualifier for Boston, but definitely showing progress.  I was able to go out without a jacket this morning.  There was a blackbird about a quarter mile down the road who hovered over my head squawking at me.  Guess I was invading his turf.  He was waiting for me on the return trip also.  I am slowly getting the hang of this HRM.  I now "run between the beeps."  It beeps when I am under or over my target heartrate.  I get into the zone and then walk until it beeps, run until it beeps again, then walk until it beeps etc.  There was a spatter of rain drops, and it's supposed to storm today.
