Lately I have not made going to church as much of a priority as I should. Although I’ve made it to church about once a month, I’ve skipped church to get an early start on a long bike ride or when my to-do list seemed to long. The thing is, whenever I go to church, I’m always glad I went, and I always hear a message I need to hear.
I didn’t get very far with any of the heart rate training approaches to running, and now that I’m trading in my Garmin 225 with wrist-based heart rate monitoring (let me know if you’re interested — I’ll make a deal!) for the Garmin Vivoactive with no heart rate monitor, I guess I’m all but giving up on heart rate training. Still, I’m interested in seeing how hard my heart is working during different activities, and especially my cycling heart rate versus running heart rate.

According to my Garmin data, I ran 68 miles in June, not including the 2+ miles I ran each Monday during my Orange Theory Fitness classes. The weather ranged from gloriously cool to oppressively humid, but all in all it was a good month for running. Since I don’t have any races on my calendar until September–I still haven’t committed to a July 4th race!–to the main purpose of my runs was to find items for the RunChatHunt scavenger hunt.

While I found more than five entries–I only missed the yard sale–I’ll share five that fit the theme of this holiday weekend for today’s Friday Five Link Up hosted by Courtney, Cynthia and Mar. Continue reading
