Stitching trails -- Wed. May 12

Late afternoon run, and didn't have a whole lot of time, so a mixed bag kind of run, going through a number of small trails stretches and joining them up with road sections. Started down to water plant, wearing woolly hat and Boston shirt, though not too cool enfin. Stretched after that first mile, then up the hill and take the right on the Underwood trail, but then left and up/back to the Wallace pond trail again, then down and back into Underwood -- it adds a couple of short hills and extends the tougher trail a bit. Out after that to Underwood, up to 202, back to courthouse, then follow last bit of Wallace pond trail to police station, and round State school lanes to come out at Checkers, then into rail trail to OldSpfld, then up hill to the old farm trail back toward Dave's place, then down to rail trail again and home the shortest way. Overall:

Time: 52:42
Distance: 7.08 miles
Pace: 7:27s

Comment: w00t! I was using the short distance to encourage a more aggressive run, but not thinking about pace so much as enjoying the breath workout the trails were giving me--they're just higher effort all round. So the pace is pretty good, and that makes 30 so far this week.
