Time: 8:30am
Where: Burke Gilman trail, Bryant to gas works park and back
Workout: 8 miles, LSD
Notes and observations: Nice-ish weather, for once. Funny as I arrive in Wallingford, due to timing and location, and probably weather, the trail is so much more lively. Wallingford is the halfway mark of this 8 mile route. I run along Lake Union and can see the last of the early morning rowers heading back to their boathouses. Sigh. I’d rather be rowing, I repeated a few times.
My splits:
Mile 1: 9:21
2: 9:21
3: 9:38
4: 9:24
5: 9:39
6: 9:51
7: 9:36
8: 9:32
… Miles 1&2 are an average because I forgot to hit the button. Miles 6&7 include traffic light waits.
Not bad, in fact quite good, IMO. My goal was to run a natural feeling pace.
Music: 8 Foo Fighter albums on shuffle.
