Leaping out of February

Last workout for February. It is unseasonably cold so I decided on a treadmill trot. I finally brought in decent running shoes to use on the treadmill (previously using cross trainers). The avg pace is deceiving because I did stop periodically and also spead up for short periods. I’ts a goal for me to get to that pace consistently as a benchmark.

City Run - Downtown Hartford

Start in East Hartford, over Founder’s Bridge, Constitution Plaza, circle Bushnell Park by State Capital then retrace route back to Start. I am estimating the miles.

Temp about 20 degrees. No wind. Getting there. The cold drained my energy near the end so I had to walk a block and wait for the walk signal. The short “rest” helped. It happed again right at the last 1/10 mile but I think that was more mental than physical.

My left hamstring was tightning on me a little but not like like when I started runnung last Dec..
