Was determined to get out there today, and set off at 9ish to do a long run through Rock Creek State Park. Absolutely beautiful piece of woodland, gorgeous day. My legs were stiff from all the walking and standing yesterday, but I was still doing a semi decent speed for L3, and I saw a black squirrel which was pretty cool. Did a small sub threshold middle section (this is going to be threshold as the training plan progresses), then ran back. Got back from running and went to the Smithsonian Zoo, where I saw Sloth bears, gorillas, and these absolutely amazing big shrew things. It was a really fun day.
