Cascades 5K

I enjoyed taking a different 5K route yesterday, so I did it again today.
Today's route was the pinkish one through Cascades Marketplace.

It was around 35F this morning, much warmer -- a very good temperature to run in.




I found an interesting thing. My heart takes a while to get beating fast if I go out conservatively (e.g. I can go out at 7:30 pace and stay in the 140-155 range for a long while) but once I cross into the 160-170 range my heart will not go much slower for a long time even if I am running easy downhill.

Notice the heart rate rise as I went up the hill to Kohls. Then even though the running was mostly downhill after that my heart stayed in the 160s.
