Friday May 25th 30 minute run along the lakefront. Moderate day today.  Managed to check heart-rate but seemed somewhat high at around 160 BPM.  I was in more of a hurry today and didn't get a correct reading.  Will double check next time.  All in all was a great workout.  Had a nice 5 minute walk as a warm up, followed by 30 minutes of jogging time and a walk home as my cool-down.  Nice temp in the upper 60's.  Great workout today.

Can you drink beer and still be fit? Here's an interesting article I read to help answer that question.
