The grass trails are still beckoning, and this time I decided to do a run that included no walking at all. Not a long one, just three short miles, but I ran the whole way except to briefly walk carefully down a few steep hills. it went well, in lovely running weather, and I enjoyed it. Of course I have to run slower when I don't do any walking, but for a short distance like this I can probably get to the end faster doing run-only instead of the usual run/walk.
I can't prove that today, however, because I forgot my watch. Looking at the clock in the car, though, it took me between 31 and 32 minutes to run 3.01 miles, so if my time were 31:30, the average pace was 10:28. I'm happy with that - the route is quite hilly and a little treacherous, requiring careful foot placement. Tomorrow I'll go back to the run/walk, which is easier on my ancient joints and muscles, but maybe I'll run four miles without walking sometime soon, and then maybe five, and we'll see where that goes eventually.
Whining: Zip.
Way to go!
