Evening Enfield Eight -- Wed. August 20

After work when I had thought I'd be giving a lecture, so a bonus day, and nicely timed. Headed out into cool early autumn dusk: it being too late for a run up the bigger hill (Summit), I figured a full Enfield would do for both hills and distance. So, GeoHannum to Hamilton and down to Allen, do the full Allen to Enfield, then left as far as the gate (proper dark by then, so no Quabbin view to run to), turn around and push a bit on the way down to 9, cross right over and add Jabish hill to the quota. Then across the common and back down 202, eventually stopping the clock just after the supermart, thus:

Time: 57:13
Distance: 8.02 miles
Speed: 8.4 mph

Comment: pushed myself a bit up the hills a bit, keeping pace below 8s, and managed 3 sub-7s on the downhill and flat. Sore right calf, but no significant numbness. Good workout all round; too cool for the cold bath option, but I think that led to a bit more soreness after. Hmm.
