VCM Training Wk2 Day4

Goal: Keep HR in DF Z2 for 30 minutes.
I felt tired, tight, and sore today.  I started at 5.0 on a 1.5 incline.  I increased .1 speed for each .1 mile until reaching 6.0 at 1 mile.  I decided to keep it there instead of pushing it faster.  Partially because I didn't feel strong, and partially because I know that today is supposed to be an easier day in the week, and I need to save more for tomorrow's LSD.  Early in the run, I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to keep my HR low enough even by not going faster than 6.0.  It did ultimately settle, and I felt a bit more of a groove by the end of the run, but generally a sluggish "slow" day.
