Ten In The Park

Not my best run ever, but good to get in another ten miles. Started off with a couple of slow miles, but still found it difficult to pick up the pace along the Cape Henry Trail. I did notice some odd readings on the Garmin and now that I’ve looked at the GPS track, it looks like I set off running without waiting for a good lock on the satellites.

The image below shows me running off the bike path and state route 343 on the way out which was definitely not the case. The track on the way back is accurate though, so maybe I picked up a better signal as the run went on?

Anyway, none of the miles were easy and I find myself still struggling for any kind of “decent” form. I’m sure the running efficiency will return in time, but right now I feel very ungainly. Probably explains several of the new aches and pains I keep developing.

Nice to finish the month out with a longish run though, and 15 days of running and 88 miles is a lot better than I could have anticipated at the beginning of the month when I was still wearing the Aircast boot for my stress fracture. Here’s to an even better October!
