After packing and moving, moving and unpacking, I finally get back on the road this morning for about 8.5 around the new neighborhood, including aloop or two through Hunt Park. Wasn't sure about the trails through the park, not having run here before, so when I saw a woman going at a decent clip (about 9:00) I decided to follow her and see where she went. Turned out the full park loop is about 1.5 miles, plus I looped around Lake Springdale (which smells like the nearby sewer plant) was well as the Silent Grove/Pump Station/West End loop. Went better than I thought it might given zero running for nine days or whatever, but it was still tough, especially with the hills included.
Start the new job Monday, as if my anxiety level weren't high enough, then a visit to the state Medical Board on Wednesday (just a formality, but with the twist that if they say no, I can't work and I'm screwed). |
