There was definitely no running involved!
(Okay, a tiny bit as an experiment as I mentioned in the prior post).
Basically, I walked to the lake and back, as if I were doing a run, but without the running part. This was done to:
- Assess how viable running would be on the trail (not very)
- Get out for some fresh air
- Burn a few calories instead of sitting on my butt eating crackers
The main thing here is that once I got onto the river trail (which is to say, once I was off nicely shovelled sidewalks), my pace slowed a fair bit over my usual walking pace. It wasn’t super slippery, but it was enough that I couldn’t walk at my usual breakneck (for walking) pace. The first walk, my left big toe got cold for some weird reason. It was fine on the way back.
