I would normally run on a Friday but due to the Xtreme™ run on Wednesday, I decided to alter my run schedule and give myself a little more time off before running again, as my knees are feeling the effects of the 7.5 km run. They’re not exploding or anything, I am just being cautious. I am tentatively planning on running on Sunday, which gives me three days of non-running.
Today I walked to the lake and back. The weather was sunny and pleasantly warm. Curiously, my pace on the return route was a fair bit faster, with two km coming in under the 9-minute mark. I have no real explanation for this.
But it was nice, and I was listening to Hall & Oates, who are collectively probably 300 years old now. But they rocked my socks between 1980-84, and they still rock them even today (except for “Open All Night” which has perhaps the most cringeworthy lyrics ever in a Hall & Oates song).
Rather than split the walk in two, I’ve just smooshed in both sets of stats below.
