Notes
Yet another great run, this time accompanying M part-way as she's training this weekend with a 20-miler out Route 1 to Mystic and back. It's fantastic being about so early in the morning, even if the 5:30AM rising isn't the easiest, and the cool air and beautiful sunrise just after my half-way point help make for an experience to remember. Likewise, although my feet and legs do reveal some small aches here and there (this time particularly on my left outside/underside - not quite the Gustav peronials, but a little farther ahead,) the moderate pacing we start with, together with the heightened sense of attention that wearing the Vibrams always forces on me, keep me running slowly and gently for the outing's duration - So much so, actually, that I finish the run just as strongly as we began it, and even with a final-mile time of about 8:40 and high spirits. Progress definitely being made, and with plenty of time still to go till October...!
