Saturday Park Run

john | Oct. 27, 2024, 10:26 p.m. The Run

Meant to write this yesterday, but got a bit distracted by things I was going to so you get it now.  I decided that I hadn't run in the Viveros in a while and it would be good for me too.  Rode the bike share over to the park, and then stretched. 

The entire loop is 2.2km.  I didn't time myself, although maybe next time I will.  But I just decided I was going to start, and not walk at all, till I did two laps.

The first quarter lap was slow, then as my body got a bit more warmed up I picked up the speed.  By the time I finished the lap I was warmed up well enough, and picked up the speed a bit more.  Halfway through the second lap my lungs started hurting. 

Granted I only breathing through my nose when running, but it was a very unique feeling.  They where struggling, but I was able to finish out.  My lung's I'm sure have their own opinion.

4.4km.  I think I'll try to do more of my runs there now instead of on the treadmill, maybe during the week instead though.  There is a sort of tranquility to running through the forested area with a nice soft dirt ground.  The noise of the sneakers hitting it each time is therapeutic at the very least.

Maybe next time I'll go for 6.6km.  Unsure
