7.5 mile rail trailer -- Thu. July 5

Still a bunch of update posts to do from the UK trip, but here's my first run back in the US: inCREDIBLY muggy (considering how cold and rainy it was in England) and somewhat late in the day, and no Garmin device to track it, but a satisfying enough hour's plodding. Went the long way in to the rail trail and followed it to the main the canal branch, along that to the main road and back home via the town common and past the donut store. Timed it using the stopwatch on my cell phone, thus:

Time: 57:46
Speed: 7.83 mph
Distance: 7.54 miles (measured on G. Earth)

Comment: felt strange not to have speed feedback while running, and I felt pretty sore still from the recent hiking, traveling and biking -- but at least I'm back into season and ready for the higer weekly load. I think.
