Running (Lake Accotink) 54:20 [3] 4.6 mi (11:49 / mi)
shoes: Montrail Hardrock
Had an errand in Springfield, so thought I may run at the Lake as well. One very warm Luna Lemonzest bar, 4 Advil Liquid, 2 inhaler puffs, and water. Low expectations after yesterday's workout, and wearing the Montrails which don't seem to be cushioned enough for me. Tape blister block to my left heel and off I go.
Watch set for a 5/1 interval, so I run/walk that sequence. Had to walk a bit addional - mostly the uphills. I know, I know, Lake Accotink isn't all that hilly. Just happy to be out. Temps okay except for the ~.5 mile unshaded part.

Go around a second time in the opposite direction. Know I will probably walk the majority of this lap, and I do. Only run about 10 minutes. But walked as hard as I could without going into racewalk mode - the fastest was about 14:30 per mile - not too shabby. Average a bit better because of the bit I ran...
Chest a bit tight throughout this lap...
