I got off to a later start this morning for reasons (I swear I wasn’t being lazy), but still managed to begin my run in the morning, which was important because it was yet again going to be warmer than usual and my body is still adjusting to early June temperatures happening in late April.
As it turned out, the run went fairly well, almost matching Monday’s pace, only one second slower on average at 5:44/km. My BPM was slightly lower at 145, which was nice to see as it was 16-17C on the run, so I do indeed appear to be acclimating to the warmer temperatures (vague warning about climate change here).
The trail was moderately busy, with an assortment of runners and walkers, though none of the regular runners. There was a walking group and a few OWs1Oblivious Walkers but I didn’t have any problem navigating around any of them.
I had one brief issue during the 3K stretch, where my right shin hurt just a wee bit. This resolved itself after 15 seconds or so, and did not come back, so I am thinking it’s just a kink working out and nothing more.
And this was one of the first runs of the year when I both put on sunblock and actually showed visible signs of sweating. Yuck to both, though at least the sunblock makes me smell pretty. Hopefully it doesn’t attract bees or anything.
Anyway, a good mid-week run.
