I normally don’t run on Saturday, but the doctor appointment bumped everything a day ahead, so Saturday it was!
Apart from about 50 million more people on the trail, it was fine. The only time it got semi-crowded was at the Deer Lake Brook bridge, when a jogger, a parent and the parent’s wee kid got bottled up while navigating the stairs. This amounted to mere seconds, though. And I passed two other joggers! I mean, they were very slow, but still.
Speaking of slow, the temperature was fine (20-21C) but the humidity was still pretty high around 70-74%. This meant today’s run felt harder than Thursday’s when it was 27C. While my BPM remained the same at 151, my pace dropped to 5:50/km, which is not bad, but not exactly zippy, either.
I am noticing what may be the beginning of a Baker’s cyst behind my right knee, so I will keep an eye on that. It did not affect my run.
Overall, not a bad effort, though as the title indicates, it was very sweaty. I was very frequently wiping away sweat from my eyes. I prefer running when there is less copious sweating.
