PM: 11.1 miles, averaged 9:08. HR 160.
The park was quite empty at the start and then it warmed up quite a bit with the sun. A bit humid actually.
A redacted story about the run from Strava (edited for language):
The young woman made an abrupt turn toward the beach and directly toward a nesting goose. The gander went into full fighter jet mode. "Did you see that?!" She asked. "Yeah, they are nesting. Keep away from them."
A few laps go by . . .
A man is standing over the goose. I yell "watch it they are nesting and aggressive." "I know I am keeping my eye on him" he said (referring to the gander who was visibly upset). At which point I yelled "Well, then leave them alone." And his reply was "I am trying to take a picture."
The man was literally standing over the goose. Canadian Geese are jerks (and they are only protecting themselves), but there's no need to do that. Needless to say my HR was pretty high for the rest of the run.
