I drove down to the Great Dismal Swamp Canal Trail just north of the North Carolina border for my long run this afternoon. It was a great day to run through the area as there were numerous butterflies flitting among the vegetation including several species of swallowtails. Families were out in force riding their bicycles along the roadway with a few stopping to fish in the areas open to the canal.
6.0 mi in 01:16:50 at 12:48/mi burning 492 calories with 136bpm HRavg.
Markers --
1.00 mi in 11:55 126bpm (too fast for a long run)
1.00 mi in 13:27 124bpm (now it's too slow)
1.00 mi in 13:11 134bpm (much better)
1.00 mi in 13:08 137bpm (finding my pace here)
1.00 mi in 13:08 143bpm (wow, consistency)
1.00 mi in 12:00 155bpm (picked up the pace to finish)
My calves were tender for the first 2+ miles so I stopped at the end of miles 1-3 but once I was on the return from the 3.0 mile marker everything seemed to free up and I ran miles 4-6 without stopping.
Location: Great Dismal Swamp Canal
Tomorrow I hope to run on the North Carolina end of the same trail. |

| | I drove into North Carolina to run along the southern edge of the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail. It was rainy which kept the humidity punishing but the temps cooler and made the vegetation vividly verdant.

So, this adds yet another state to the locations of where I have accomplished a running workout. Clearly keeping the list of states I have stumbled through on Facebook was a bad idea because I cannot find it now. But when I do find it, North Carolina can be added.
