I normally never run on Sundays, but today the weather was very nice again and I was feeling wacky, so off I went to Burnaby Lake.
This time I chose to run clockwise and headed out under rare sunny skies. I knew after running Friday and doing a run/walk yesterday that I would want to dial it back a bit, so I adopted a more leisurely pace. I think it also helped that I was starting to feel genuinely a bit pooped from all the recent activity.
I experienced no issues and while the pace was a sloggy 6:27/km, I’m fine with that, as I was tired, it was warmer (up to 22C!) and my BPM reflected the gentler effort.
I’m not going to run tomorrow, though. For one, it’s a holiday and the trails always get really crowded. For another, I expect my legs to revolt if I dare to try.
But I’m glad I did today.
Also, another snake!
