Just run

It was 45 minutes of movement but the first 9 were a warm up.  I think the last 9 were moments of desperation in trying to get back to the starting point.  Almost completed two laps of my favorite run area.  I just need a few more minutes to get down that last side street and back.  Just set my timer to 9 minutes to keep track of time that way.

4.2 mile ruck.  With the cooler temp, it didn't feel like that much of a workout because I didn't sweat as much.  However, it is always a relief to take that ruck off your back and instantly be so much lighter.

My little one woke up early this morning just as I was preparing to step out for a jog.  Took her with me.  After a few feet, she decided she didn't want to walk anymore so I carried her.  It was just a good quiet walk for the both of us early in the morning.  It took 26:32.09 to get to NTA via my "shortcut" route now that I know the way.  Probably about a two mile walk.

9 minute warm up with a slight pace increase for the next 18 minutes.  Did 8 reps of minute run / minute rest.  Discovered that I had an extra gear hidden.  It came out when I ran my second to last rep because there were other people on the trail, and I didn't want them to catch me while they were at a jog pace and I was at a sprint pace.  It was a surprise to me that my timer didn't go off at the usual spot and that I ran just a little further than I had in all my previous reps.
