Run 1,040: Patriotic recovery run

View from Cariboo Dam: Partly sunny with a decent breeze blowing. It’s Canada Day and you know what that means! That’s right, people go out on the trails and wave tiny Canadian flags. Well, maybe not the flags, but there were more than the usual number of people out for a Wednesday morning, but the weather was pleasant and the people were, too, so it was all good. I changed my mind for my second post-surgery run and rather than re-run the same route as Monday, I opted to go clockwise and to not do a short loop. Instead, I ran the 2.5 km, then kept walking and did the full loop around the lake, in part because I wanted to see how the lake and trail looked after more than a month’s absence, but also because I wanted to take pretty photos of Still Cree. And it was very pretty today. As for the run, I improved, going from an average pace of 6:18 to 6:11/km. Not bad. I was actually slower to start today, likely because it was warmer, but didn’t drop off dramatically as I had two days ago.…
