Trail run (dog walk) 18:27 [3] 2.3 mi (8:01 / mi)
Feeling tired after 3 straight difficult overnight shifts, but dogs were quite insistent after not going out for run for previous 2 days, so mobilized myself just before dinner. Opted for short Needham Town Forest loop due to time constraints, and was very pleasantly surprised to find I was running much more comfortably than I had been at any time this year. There was a real flow to my stride which had been utterly missing, and which I feared might have been a permanent casualty of age, but for one day at least, it was back. Did not push myself at all, but was able to complete loop at roughly 8:00 min/mi pace, giving me some hope for an acceptable performance at upcoming Billygoat.
