Quick 5 (miles) - June 11

Not sure I'd be able to run today, partly from general tiredness (busy weekend and early starts again) and partly from overeating with all the delicious food around (picnic season and end of school year, etc.). Also I got sunburnt at noon today, as the rain *finally* lifted and the sun arrived: it was cool, however, so I didn't remember sunscreen or avoidance. But at around 7:30, still lots of day light left, and after playing some frisbee with R, headed off for a 3-5 miler. Wanted different than my local 5K, so headed GeoHannum to trail, and then across Jackson to Howard and back up to town hall (2 miles); cross 202 and down Jabish to do a loop around Devon Lane dealership, then back up Jabish to E Walnut and to _that_ end of the common; right onto 202 and then home via GeoH again. Hit 5 miles after a final push up Dana Hill, stopped the clock and jogged a bit to cool off.

Time: 35:54
Speed: 8.37 mph
Distance: 5.02 miles

Comment: started gently but then figured it was worth pushing as it'd be short. The hills (up to town hall and then back up onto the common) made miles 2 and 4 slow: 6:30, 7:47, 6:44, 7:47, 6:32. It's like a two-speed engine, uphill and flat/down. Maybe that's just the way of it? Felt good and stretched at the end of it, training-sore. Maybe no time for a run tomorrow, so it's good I got out.
