So today, I took Wilbur and Sarah for a walk - no running allowed (the pups aren't used to this concept, it was tough to curb their enthusasm). I going to try and do this maybe once a week or so.
The course I selected was (what I call) the "5 mile Jordan Lake ankle breaker trail". I have specifically avoided this trail in the weeks leading up to Umstead - but it is a good one for walking with plenty of steep ups and downs. Roots and rocks on the trail will keep me honest, so I won't cheat in the future by running some of it.
Considering what I have put my body through in the last week, the walk felt good, with no lingering problems from Umstead. Today's effort will be a good base to see how I improve over the coming weeks.
Data from the Garmin:
- Time: 1:15:11
- Distance: 4.75 mi (I forgot to re-start the Garmin after the pups had a bathroom break, so that's probably 0.1 or 0.2 miles light)
- Pace: 15:49 min/mile
