Run 1,041: New shoes and overachieving (whoops)

View from Cariboo Dam, pre-run: Calm and surprisingly muggy. How did I overachieve by only running 2.5 km, especially when my recommended workout from Garmin was a 27-minute run? Because I had a doctor appointment at 9 a.m., walked home from that (3 km), then walked to the lake (4 km) and did a bunch of walking around between these two things, meaning by the time I started the run I had already covered something like 10 km on foot. I was tired before I started, I just didn’t know it. I found out soon enough, though, because when the Performance blurb popped up on the watch just before the 1K mark, it reported a yucky -2.
