Walk 84: Shy little drizzle

I wore my long-sleeve Nike shirt today as there had been actual, if slight, precipitation in the morning. And indeed, as I headed out, the sky looked very gray, holding the promise of more to come.

The sullen sky meant the river trail was gloriously quiet–not a single dog owner in sight! In fact, I only saw two people in total, one walking down and one when I turned around and walked back.

I also popped over to the lake, walking up to the turtle nesting area, and saw not a single person while there. It was weird and kind of nice. Quiet. Peaceful.

Unlike my condo. 😛

A couple of oddities, possibly related to the watchOS 9 update? My distance at 8.03 seems a bit low. Based on my route, I was expecting something closer to 8.5 km. This will bear watching (no pun intended). Also, my pace and BPM seem a bit out of whack, with the BPM being higher than what I would expect given the pace (I only ran for a few moments). Perhaps the cooler temperature and rainy conditions made my body work slightly harder. Perhaps I’m not used to this after months of insane heat and humidity!

I shall learn more when I run tomorrow under what looks to be similar weather conditions.
