Run 793: Now with pictures

View from Cariboo Dam, pre-run

The right knee was fine.

But I again felt like the run was taking more effort than it should have. Temperature was fine, humidity should have been okay, starting at 56%–not too high, not too low. My BPM of 151 overall indicates I was not exerting myself too much–and yet for much of the run it felt like a bit of a slog. Am I just that much off my peak? Is the humidity being tricksy and affecting me more than I realize?

I may try running earlier in the morning on Friday to get some kind of comparison.

Given that my knee held up, I can’t complain too much. I did a short loop and the Garmin Forerunner approved, keeping my training status at Productive.

Overall, not bad, just…fine.

And now, a map to illustrate all the highlights (?):

If it’s easier, I run on the right side of the trail. Also, no matter how much you zoom in, you will not see the tractor. Sorry!
