Only got out at 8:30PM so the park was closing in the dark. Ran 2 outer loops, second one in almost complete darkness. I'm amazed that Westminster council doesn't put more street lights on the sidewalk around Regents Park. One time I almost collided with another runner, because I was on my tempo portion of the run and we didn't see each other till the last second. And it didn't help that both of us were wearing black t-shirts.
Felt much better today than yesterday, ran easy for about 5 mi, then ran 10min. at half-marathon effort (1.3mi, 7:44 pace). After that, jogged home 1.4mi.
Total time: 1:08:34 (8:47 pace). |
