Running on the "grass" (rutty mud & grass) trails again, I had a wonderful time. People were out this Sunday afternoon, with kids, dogs, and horses, lots of horses. I slow to a walk when I pass a horse, trying not to spook it. Some riders pull off the trail and wait for me to pass, while others try to ignore me. I suppose it depends on the personality of the horse; some are more easily spooked than others.
The temperature was about 55 degrees with a bright sun and a nice breeze. One long-sleeved shirt worked fine. I ran/walked 8.29 miles in 1:29:26, for a total pace of 10:50, doing 40 running triplets to 20 walking. That pace is better than Friday’s, and I went twice as far.
Whining: None at all.
Loop 1: 4.1 miles in 44:30. Loop 2: 4.19 miles in 44:57. These loops are nearly identical - only one part of the loop changed
Friday, May 10:
I forgot my watch and had to use my cell phone instead, so the time of 46 minutes could be off by a bit. 4.1 very hilly miles in that time, on the grass trails in the park. I like that though. I walked some of the time today, especially up hills. The pace was apparently about 11 minutes/mile, maybe a bit slower.
Whining: The right knee complained just a bit today - I think it’s the patellofemoral (PFS) acting up. Not bad though.
