Comments:
I put my heart rate zones way too high where my lowest was 139 beats per minute and the higher end was being 151 beats per minute. I honestly think that I should have set it where the lower end was 123 beats per minute while the higher end was 144 beats per minute. I was playing around with new setting according to a formula I got from the Polar Heart rate monitor website where where figure out your heart rate zones from your resting heart rate while the earlier settings I have been playing around with since I got my watch/ heart rate monitor was from the New York Road Runners guide. I think I will stick to the Road Runners guide from now on.

I actually felt a little sore but felt rather slow and sluggish for me to push it up. For goodness sakes, it is a recovery run after all.
