Day 31: Possible bears

I was originally going to try my first baby run post-surgery today, but then the forecast came out with a high of 31°C (it got to 32) and I noped right out of that. Instead, I walked to Burnaby Lake and back. In fact, I walked all the way to Piper Spit, which is about a 12 km round trip. I got my weekly 150 Intensity Minutes and even tried actual running for a minute or two, to see if I’d keel over or something. I did not keel over. The part that felt the worst was my legs, actually. I didn’t stretch before, since I was walking, and my shins could feel it. Then my calf muscles. Then I stopped running. The next day when the weather looks to be reasonable is Thursday but if it gets cooler before then (highs of 32 and 29 tomorrow and Wednesday) I will try sooner. In the meantime, I will continue to walk briskly.
