Pick-me-up run -- Fri. May 7

Yesterday, waking from a p.m. micro-nap, I felt for the first time since Sunday completely able to walk again (!). It faded as I got tired, but I definitely am over the hump. So, figured I could get a quick run in this morning, while still keeping to plans for a long leg stretch tomorrow. Sunny but cool, so headed out wearing my Boston shirt (first time), but with a water bottle as the sun was heating the day up fast. Down GeoHannum to the water plant where I did a fairly thorough set of stretches, then up the hill trail, as if for Wallace pond, but then back down again a different trail to intersect with the one leading out to Underwood, then out to 202 and left up as far as the police station, then round the state school lanes to come out again on 202 and cross directly at PLanet Gas, then rail trail to OldSpfld, up to the trail leading back to 202 through Piper Farm, then up to town and home via 202 and 9, thus:

Time: 53:26
Distance: 7.16 miles
Pace: 7:28s

Comment: nice mix of trail and road, hills and flats. Worth a repeat or two, I think. Stopped clock at entry to Clark, so that was maximum length. Pace felt comfortable, with some good working stretches; felt a bit tired at 4-5 miles, but perked up, though re-feeling soreness by the time I was coming down the hill to 9. Looking forward to a long one tomorrow.
