Notes
This felt generally easier then more recent runs on this route but the wind was brutal. Up Hanson Ridge toward the top of the hill it got really bad but I felt better and the pace was almost a full minute faster than it’s been at the same point on previous runs even with the wind. Down Oak Street I kept it at an easy even pace and was in the high 8s. Switched to music as I headed back home and the pace picked up a little without intentionally doing so. Up Shaw’s Ridge and then home. This was the first run in a while where I felt stronger.
The best news is the timing of this run. I was on the road when the kids left for school and Kathy was driving for the first time in 3 months. Yeehaw.
