I decided that I’d keep the running to a minimum today to let my leg muscles further recover–I plan on running tomorrow after a couple of days off. Instead, I ran intermittently, but did a longer route, stretching out to just over 8 km (the previous walk was 7.5 km by comparison). I also ran uphill (but not both ways in the snow).
I also hit a mile (kilometer?) stone today by passing the 500 km mark on these walks. That’s a decent amount of hoofing it, I’d say.
The uphill parts were the usual bit on Fader Street, but also the long incline that connects Upper and Lower Hume Park. I actually managed to get to just where it starts to level off without collapsing into a puddle of goo.
Here’s a map of the new route, which takes me down alongside the off-leash area in Hume Park and then out past Cariboo Road to the train tracks, where I turn around and repeat the route in reverse (but not by actually walking backward). I was so close to Costco I could almost smell the 50 kg jars of mayonnaise.
