[Backpost] Sat. Oct. 10

[Been so busy at work I've still not got back to regular running, but I'm hoping to break out of that soon. . .]

Saturday run after a week stuck indoors, so aimed long. I wanted to run Mechanic Street over this side of Norwottuck, and the round trip was going to be at least 14 miles, but I felt up to it. Took the shortest route, to 9 then down Bay all the way and along as far as Mechanic; then start up the hill, grabbing some autumn raspberries as I passed (handy!), finding the going tough but still good. Got a bit lost once well up in the woods, but eventually, with some doubling back, made it out on to Batchelor, then back along the usual way, elading to GeoHannum. Starting to feel pretty bushed as I approached, so stopped clock near Rural, then jogged on much more slowly towards home, eventually walking the last bit:

Times: 1:36:57 and 19:06
Distances: 12.25 miles and 2 miles
Paces: 7:55s and 9:33s

Comment: a bit of a bridge too far, this one. Live and learn. It being a holiday weekend, I could at least puch my Sunday run off to Monday.
