Greenbelt + Castle Rock/Rock Garden - 1:52
Great run this evening. Started at the DoubleTree and headed upstream. At Ann Morrison Park I was almost lured into the beer festival by the sounds of rock music and the temptation of 17 four ounce beers for $20. But I passed it up, and started at 2.5 mile tempo run at 6:13/mile pace. It felt smooth. That led me to Quarry View Park, and I climbed up the rocky trails and had some sweet views of the storm to the northwest. Rock Garden loop is always a treat, and I had it to myself tonight. I had to pick my way back down the trail carefully, as the storm had brought nightfall sooner than usual. Once I was back on the flats (1:13 into the run), I ran another easy 2.5 mile tempo at 6:15/mile. I finished with 24 minutes in the dark on the greenbelt.
Finally feeling better this evening after being sick all week. |
