Walk 8: Walk slow, run fast

For the second day in a row, my walking pace was curiously slow, never dipping below 9:00/km on the way down the river trail. On the other hand, when I did the run back, both km that I clocked came in at very respectable times of 5:50 and 5:38 (side note: I am noticing multi-second discrepancies between what my watch reports on the fly vs. what the app on the phone later reports, with the phone usually reporting longer times. This makes no sense as the phone GPS is doing the tracking, but oh well. Software!)

In the end my overall pace was a bit slower but still respectable. It was quite warm but humidity was actually quote low, so sweating was minimal and I was able to maintain pace without any difficulty.

Based on the results, I don’t feel yesterday’s loop around the lake had any negative impact. The heel still feels no worse for wear and so far everything else is holding together.
