A Recovery Run - Finally!

This evening, I set out at dusk for a planned 45 minute easy recovery run. I've had a hard time getting back to these runs for a few weeks now, so this was mostly an exercise in getting myself out the door. I ran in the 'Hood, along with a final bit on the water tower trail. I started out with a mile around 10:00/mile pace, dropped it down to the low 9:00 range for a while, and I guess I picked it up late. Overall pace for 5.4 miles was 9:15/mile, and it felt pretty easy. My legs felt better after the workout than before, so mission accomplished.

Now, if I could just get myself to the gym tomorrow to start reestablishing that habit!
