Today was a good run day.
Normally, I would have been a wee bit concerned about traffic on the trail, given that today is a statutory holiday–Labour Day. But thanks probably largely to cloudy skies, the crowds were smaller than they might have been. One small dog off-leash did smoosh its cold snout into my calf post-run, though.
I opted to go clockwise and got a strong start–and just kept going. The second km dip was small, then I improved each lap after, for an overall pace of 5:42/km, my best in a few weeks, and a BPM of 147, reflecting the more favourable conditions. Even the humidity, which started at an absurdly high 85%, didn’t slow me down, though sweating was constant and ongoing.
The right shin was almost back to normal, and I didn’t experience any other issues.
Overall, a very nice start to the week.
