Only on lap 8 when I was starting to lose my mind. If you look I had to run 10 mind numbingly boring laps to get to 8 miles. It was dark. Just the path lamps, his bike light, the feral cats, white tail deer and my steps. The MP3 batteries went out on lap 4. About 8 I was just trying to keep going, I was tired and bored so I started talking to him but no not the whole time and not even the whole .8 mile lap. At several points I lost count of laps! I gave myself incentives like "you can stop at the water fountain on lap 3, 6, 9" but then I couldn't remember if it was one of those laps!

But FWIW on a normal run I hover around 170-175. It was very cold Saturday evening and when it is chilly I find my HR is a little elevated. I am really hoping as I get myself back into shape my HR will come down because the runs really wear me out. When I ran all the time a few years back they energized me but now I just want to come home and hit the couch.
