A better 7Ks

I had to switch things up at work.  I was originally supposed to start work at 10 am but went in for 8 am.  Which meant that I could run at UQ after work.  As you have read in previous blog postings Sarah (my wife) does Yoga at UQ on Tuesdays and when I can I run there while waiting to take her home.  I finally got my heart rate monitor working again (I had to get a new battery for it) so for the first time in 9 to 10 months I was able to run with a heart rate monitor.  The good news is that my heart is not working as hard as it used to.  The rate has come down quite a bit.  That was a nice surprise.  The other spot of good news is that for the first time ever I completed the 7ks without taking a walking break.  I am pretty pleased about that.  Because I was trying to run the whole distance I ran a little bit slower then I normally do and completed the 7ks in 43:22.  My fastest lap was the 5th which I completed in 6:02.  The slowest was the last K which I finished in 6:18.
