| Today's run. |
On a complete whim, I decided I didn't like the Ridge Road to Old Ithaca Road route and opted instead to go my old route to Wygant via Greenridge Drive. This brought me onto Old Ithaca Road at a higher point and it eliminated the long incline coming back on Ridge Road.
The tradeoff was that by the time I hit my turnaround mark at 23 minutes, I was going up a pretty intense hill on Overlook Drive, but when I turned around, I immediately got a payoff by going back downhill.
I got back to Wygant Road about 14 seconds late and was able to regain another 10 seconds by the finish mostly because this route is relatively level, with a small downhill on Greenridge Drive.
Had I mentioned that running is a good way to build your math skills? I do a lot of addition/subtraction in my head as I run.
Anyway, I'm very happy with today's run. But with every run, I am doing more than I had in at least eight years. Each run is a test to see if knees and ankles will work with these supports, but so far no sign of trouble. BMI is still 35.2.
OH! This also concludes my third week of running five days in a row. Wahoo!
