I stretched my walk today to allow for a full 2 km run along the river trail and posted some pretty good times:
1 km: 5:36/km
2 km: 5:30/km
All while maintaining a BPM of under 150.
The achiness in my legs isn’t completely gone, but it’s mostly gone, so I was able to start running without the same discomfort as yesterday.
A pall of smoke from forest fires is thick over the area today, but the river trail wasn’t that bad, otherwise I may have skipped the running.
Again, it felt good to get out, and today I was able to appreciate the more Zen-like aspects of running, which was nice.
Tomorrow I am planning to do a 5K and if it goes well, I’ll go back to my usual 10K run on Friday. We will see.
Here’s a shot of the Brunette River, from the bridge on North Road, about 2.5 hours before sunset. You can see the smoke haze in the distance.
