Recovery Running

Hip, hip, hooray! For the first time in quite a while, I've done the first two days of the full Gazelles schedule. It's about time. Tonight, at dusk, I went out for a nice little recovery run, easy going. I planned to go about 30 minutes, but ended up with 38 minutes and right at 4 miles. Average pace a comfortable 9:22/mile. It was pretty warm out there, but there was enough of a breeze that, with the setting sun, it wasn't too awful. I ran mostly on the water tower trail with the front and back end of the run on 'hood streets.

This was plenty of distance for now. I'll slowly build this run and the Thursday runs up to 7 miles over the next month. No hurry on that.
