Hello,

Today I had a great second Grind this afternoon and ended up setting a new personal best time of 46:38. It's amazing how personal bests will seem to come out of nowhere. The last time I set a PB I wasn't expecting to and today I was not expecting to either. After a nice slow grind this morning I ended up working all day and was rushed towards the end to get down to do the Grind. Maybe the adrenaline of the end of the day carried over onto the grind.

Could tell right away that I had a great time going when I beat my first two splits by 20-30 seconds each. After that I just tried to not run out of steam, as happened yesterday. The remaining two quarters each broke new split times as well. Overall I'm quite happy! Maybe the low 40's are not out of the question this year.

I do find myself working much harder and I've attached the read-out from my heart rate monitor here. When I'm really pushing my heart rate stays in the mid 160's and towards the end when I go all out it breaks into the 170's. Pretty cool to check out afterwards though.

Tomorrow I plan to do one more grind and I'm still debating if I do one on Friday or not. Saturday I hope to try and complete 6 grinds in one day. We'll see!
