Great run out at Salem Lake. Beautiful little spot about 15 min. from home. Ran in the light rain, under the umbrella of lush, greenery. Towards the end of my run I discovered the dirt path with a view of the lake. I plan to go out there again soon and run more of this dirt around the lake. My legs were still sore from all the sidewalk running lately, but it felt so great to get on asphalt & dirt! Wore the garmin, but tried not to look at it. Ended up 9:57 average. Still slow, but that's OK. Gotta expect it to take awhile to come back. |
