6.35 Miles Easy

Today I learned about a new park with trails nearby so me and Myra headed there for a nice easy run. Coming off of three days off, I was just hoping for a painfree run that I could complete. Originally, I intended to do an easy six but all bets were off when I got lost mid trail and couldn't find the parking lot lol. Luckily, Myra came to the rescue just in time.

In addition to the easy run, I got a nice little fartlek-type speed workout during the run due to deer that fear nothing, and a dead-end trail that led to, what I believe, to be a satanic worship area. Needless to say I feel I broke my 800m PR during both these encounters.

6.35 Miles - 57:52 (9:07 avg)

Mile 1 - 8:56

Mile 2 - 9:15

Mile 3 - 9:45

Mile 4 - 8:33

Mile 5 - 9:13

Mile 6 - 8:42

.35 - 3:23

I believe the times are a combination of two things. This being a trail course I was doing a lot of safety-based running, dodging roots and lots of terrain change. Second, my garmin tends to act up when it isn't in an open environment. I do not believe I ran that slowly based on how I felt.
