A Nice Day for a Sunday Run

Sunday was a good day for a run. Did the route I ran/walked last Wednesday, 3.5 miles. Managed to get it done in 40 minutes. Felt good too. Kinda gloomy day, although the sun did try to burn through the cloud cover, it didn't quite make it out. A balmy 34 and very light breze. Am getting a bit better in regards to run/walk ratio, I think. A little less walking and a little more running. No physical problems to mention.
I think I'm going to break down and get a heart rate monitor. An inexpensive model for now. If it helps me reach some goals then maybe I'll spend more money and get one with GPS and all the bells and whistles. Wallyworld has a Polar FS-1 for under 50 bucks but I want to do a bit more research as to which model I'll actually buy. I'll use it as a training tool to maintain the consistency and intensity of a run. Try to keep things on an even keel , so to speak. Also to, hopefully, get better at this sport called running.
Might go for a short run tomorrow, we'll see. Tuesday for sure as the sun is supposed to be out. Wouldn't that be nice!
All righty then I'm outta here. Will run for beer.
