I walked the Levy Trail 10K this dry, cool morning in 1:40:15, a PR by one minute and nineteen seconds, with a two-pound dumbbell in each hand. My heart rate was approximately132 beats a minute through the first fifteen seconds after I stopped and put the weights down (that rate, of course, had a margin of error of plus or minus four beats minute). That sort of pulse indicates a significant increase in workload, which with no more than the obvious empirical evidence, I am prone to attribute to the cute little powder blue weights.
Perhaps I'm on to something. My only concern is how this weird addition to my fitness routine will affect my golf swing.
Do heart monitors require a smartphone?
God dog it. This evening, I erased a Levy Trail 5K time for the sake of a pot of steamed carrots and spinach. Beginning at about 5 p.m., I alternated one-minute jogs with four-minute walks to complete the loop in 44:20 or so. I went through three miles in about 42:50.
