Notes
I failed hard on timing this run, first I forgot to time half my trip to Grey's Lake after a stop light, then I kept the time going as I walked with the Moser's, and finally forgot to restart the time after trying to make up the extra time... I don't know what I was attempting to do really.
So the run, a little hotter today so I did my trip to Grey's Lake and its grave section. On the bridge over the lake I discovered Lane and Michelle Moser walking their baby (I've been seeing all sorts of babies and puppies lately). So immediately Lane wanted to run with me (after some fumbling to get his phone in the stroller). We ran for about a half mile before meeting back up with Michelle and walking a bit. Good to catch up with them and first time I've seen them in Des Moines!
I wanted to get a little more out of this run, so I planned a few miles at a quicker (I've heard it called steady-state) pace - slower than tempo, faster than distance but still feeling easy. It didn't feel as easy as I wanted (I think I have the weekend of fast running to blame), but overall I think it was a good idea.
