Notes
Running outside while I'm visiting my mom! Felt like I was running my usual 10min/mi pace, but running ~50min got me 5.6miles. Must have been going a tad faster than I thought. Still about typical for me though I guess.
It was interesting. I had given myself a route ("to the dunkin donuts and back") but then on my way the sidewalk ended abruptly, so I diverted a bit. A fair number of hills, but I dealt with them quite well! Running out there today went way better than the last time I tried it, like 5 months ago lol. But it was also 35deg colder out today so that probably helped... (45deg when i left, started misting/drizzling a bit on my way back)
Things that were interesting about this run:
- One of my mom's neighbors has an Air Force flag hanging outside their house
- I counted empty liquor bottles by the sidewalk. On 2.8mi of road, i counted 23ish empty mini vodka bottles, an empty fifth of whisky, and one beer bottle
- One lady stopped to ask me for directions. I just confirmed that she was headed towards Main Street. Lucky she didn't ask anything more, I barely know this place!
- I passed another guy on the sidewalk running towards me. I smiled and nodded at him; he did nothing back. Disappointing!
Overall, pretty good run. I'm happy with how well I did on it, esp. given I did a lower body workout this morning.
