Well, since I have been adhering to my self imposed break from running, I guess I have to report on walking/hiking. I miss running, but my hip/back has actually started to bother me while riding and that is not something I can have happen!
I went to the trail at Estabrook Woods, since it's the first clear, cooler, dry day in awhile. Did my 4 miles, out and back. Although I really wanted to run at first, I got into a good fast hiking type rhythm and felt good about it. I didn't wear my GPS, so I have no idea as to my pace, but I would guess about a 14- 15 minute mile or so.It was so peaceful and the driest i have seen it all summer. Got the urge to go mountain biking before we have any more deluges. After about 2 miles, my hip loosened up and I felt great. I have to be better about stretching and icing.
Nothing to report except I saw 2 women, riding while their dogs were running. One was in loose capris, a long sleeved button down shirt and a floppy hat. She was riding faster than I would be going! The other had on a helmet and cycling clothes. I always see an amazing variety of people here, but today was really quiet. Then I came home and did my recovery yoga dvd. Much better for my old body...
