Back Way

July 7, 2022 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 80s and moderate humidity

Comments:
Not as oppressive weather as the past few days, but still a DC summer. Biked pretty hard to practice on Anna's bike and then ran with the longest group (Shiv, Navin, Thomas, Evan from STA). Jim's new-fangled "back way" takes 37th to Yuma to Wisc to Nebraska. We doubled back at 20 minutes as Neb intersected Chesapeake. I am still so out of shape and carrying an extra 8 lbs I didn't have pre-covid... The pace slipping below 8 meant it took a concentrated effort to stay with the group over the last mile+. Still, the only way to get there is to do this work. The bike ride home was taxing too, but I made it both ways in about 11 minutes. Did some heal and toe walks. Ankle is not healed, but holding up well on unbraced runs. I've been rolling the right hamstring too which is helping.
