Hour run before work + coaching meeting 5/9

I had a simple run before work on Thursday and it was a run that was easy for me to remember and relatively easy.

It was 60 minutes of the following:

5 minutes walk

5 minutes easy jog

5x:

2 minutes z2

6 minutes z3

1 minute walk

and any left over time, walk to finish.

After work, I stopped by an open house and had a glass of wine before meeting my coach to discuss the last month of training.  We talked about a lot of things but one of the main things I wanted to discuss heart rate zone running.  I have had a lot of issues with heart rate monitoring while running.  I don't think it works with my regular and favorite jog bra since there is a zipper in the front against the transmitter.  I pretty much refuse to sacrifice my chest for this race too, so I'm not changing it!  I have pleaded with my coach to provide me with pace zones to train with rather than HR data.  I basically told her leading into this meeting, if she couldn't get on board with paces for running, then we'd need to re-evaluate our relationship.  She said that she was okay with paces and provided me them.  I told her they were too slow, but again she refused to listen to me.  This is really a sore point of contention for me with my coach.  I wore a different jog bra on Friday and the HR zones came through okay- so I'm happy to say that I was right about the bra AND about the zones being to low.  

I know that a teacher or a coach does know a lot about the sport, etc, but no one knows me better than me.  Period.
