Walk 130 and 131: Some walking, some running, some sweating

Brunetter River, seen on the first walk.

I have not been keeping up with my runs, plus I’ve been sleeping poorly and stressing out and stuff, so this morning I checked the forecast and it looked like it would stay dry until at least 2 p.m. so I changed into my jogging clothes and set out to just do a brisk walk to the lake and back.

Which I did!

On the way back, I ran probably about half the distance (around 2 km) and got some good burns a few times by running up the stairs at Hume Park and the one block uphill stretch of Kelly Street. The stats below reflect the difference in pace between the two walks quite nicely.

The water fountain has finally been re-opened at Burnaby Lake. I took advantage.

Drink all you want until late October or so.

I went from Detraining to Maintaining on my watch, too, which was a nice bonus.

The weather was mild and though I wore long sleeves in case of rain, I would have been fine in a t-shirt.

Overall, it was nice to finally get back out, touch trees, and sweat a little. If all goes well, I’ll do a short 2.5K run tomorrow.

A slightly different view from Cariboo Dam, between walks.
