I skipped yesterday’s run as I’d gotten little sleep the night before and was still feeling wiped out by my fall booster shot. Today I thought of going for a walk and decided to do a 5K at the river instead, since 5K now almost seems short!
It went fine. I didn’t try to run fast and instead just maintained a semi-casual pace, letting the flat, even terrain of the river trail allow me to ease up and enjoy a run that wasn’t as technical.
The only real glitch came when a notification popped up on the watch, invoking a bug that muffles music playback. I ended up pausing the run while trying to fix it, and eventually got it going again. It also gave me an unnecessary break, but them’s…the breaks. At least the heart rate monitoring behaved this time (I did run the heart rate app before starting the run).
My OCD is mildly bothered by my total run distance of 5297 km. I want to do a 3K run just to get it back up to a nice, even number. Maybe next week.
