I am changing my blogging engine once again. The one I used until recently is just too cutting edge - I need something mature and stable at the moment. However, there is no clean way to transfer my posts to this new website, so it'll take me some time to compete the transition.
Distance: 7.79 mi
Time: 01:10:04
Speed: 6.67 mph
I wasn't planning on running this far today. But I never ran this route before and it goes through the park with no trails visible on any map, so my estimate was off by about a mile. And on top of that I made a wrong turn (notice that odd appendix in the upper left corner of the map) and ended up in a residential area with lots of culs-de-sac and pretty steep hills. I had to stop and call my wife to help me find my way out. As a result I ran eight miles instead of four. But since I just started running after almost two months of rest (read "procrastination"), I wasn't pushing myself too hard, so eight miles were not a problem.
I saw a lot of wildlife in the park - a couple of deers, lots of hares and squirrels. But running there wasn't as fun as I hoped it would be. The grass is very high and stinging this time of the year. Next time I run there, I will put on pants instead of shorts.
