To The Lighthouse (And Back)

August 9, 2015 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Cool but Sunny

Comments:
Same loop as yesterday, but out-and-back.

It was quite a bit hotter today, and not as pleasant, but still a quality workout.

Easy to the lighthouse, felt fine. I was probably going slower than I should have, but its not a huge deal. The lighthouse was not closed as I expected it would be. I should make a point of climbing it next time we are here.

Turned around at Ol' Barney and started back quick. Hurdled the gate on the way out -- looking for that steeplechase record -- and hit the boulevard at around 6:30 pace. I made about a mile of that before breathing started to bug me and my left knee started hurting a bit, so I brought it back to 6:40~6:45 for the last mile and a quarter. Really pushed through the last straight before the park, felt really good coming around the last turn.

Ben was washing dog when I got back. She stared at me as I was stretching. I'll try to be more modest in the future.

I wish I brought the kinvaras; the ghosts were really dragging on the second mile back.
