My first post-camping 7K saw me improve my pace from my previous best of 5:37/km to 5:29/km. Not too shabby. I started strong but was definitely feeling the effort by the midway point. I pressed on for a good finish and didn’t encounter any issues along the way, always a nice bonus.

Conditions were very similar to Tuesday’s run, though I had the breeze at my back instead of pleasantly blowing into my face.

There were a few walkers at the lake but it was fairly quiet overall, also a nice bonus.

I actually can’t think of more to add. This run definitely felt like it took more to keep a decent pace going but I stuck with it and got a decent payoff at the end. Onward to Saturday!
