Road/Trail Run 33:31 [3] 4.0 mi (8:23 / mi)
In search of attainable goals, I revived my old run to the Needham Town Forest and back which I had originally run 7-8 years ago. All my times for the route were achieved towing Sydney on a leash, so I certainly saw some potential for achieving comparable times now that I was running without any encumberence. I was between overnight shifts, the first of which was extremely arduous and extended by several hours due to paperwork issues, so my motivation was low. Still, the weather was beautiful, and I obviously needed to push myself if I had any hope of reaching an acceptable level of conditioning for the Traverse, so off I went. Run was steady if uninspired, and time was almost 2 min off my previous best, but at least I did it. Hopefully, I can find the motivation to improve upon the performance tomorrow, although the weather promises to be considerably less inviting.
