60 degrees on November 1st? I couldn't miss out on that. I left around 4:30 p.m. Lots of other people walking and biking felt the same way.
I stuck to the pavement today, and left the little girl home. I still haven't fixed the jogging stroller. Ran a loop from home to Parrish, to Legacy to Pages, and back. Found the newly completed path along the old railroad right of way. It's more attractive with trees and barnyard smells, and it keeps you farther away from the sewage treatment plant. I guess it's a wash as far as aromas go, although the compost piles at the landfill smelled particularly good today. Lots of fragrant leaves...
Since I had been pigging out on my kids' Halloween candy, I wasn't feeling the best for the run. Couldn't find the Garmin again, but did the 6.5 miles in 51 minutes....7:50 pace. That sounds about right, factoring in the walking and pit stop at 7-11. Regrettably, the city has winterized all the park toilets. Additional planning and/or route limitations are now in effect. Crap. Or should I say darn?
