Spanish Trail & Seaside

January 3, 2021 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Downpouring again when I got up but I wanted to fit in a long run this morning. Rain released when I headed out and the sun came out, haven't seen it in a while to be honest. Ran over to the trails on the north end of Pacific Spirits and took the Spanish Trail down to the beach. The trail was muddy as shit I was slipping and sliding all the way down. Coming up that direction would have been tough. It pops right out on the beach and the bike path. Lots of people were out this morning walking dogs, jogging. Very exciting. With the sun and rain letting up, could see all of downtown jutting out into the water. Such a cool view, long run mileage is worth it. I actually felt pretty good and held my pace steadily along the path, jumping over puddles. Came back up Alma. The hill and stoplights stopped my groove a little bit and I finished up kinda slow. Could have added on a little more to get to 7 exactly. Weather was great today, not as cold as I was expecting.

Essentials: Stretch

Good stretch when I got back. Not too sore from yesterdays walking or the mileage, plus I felt pretty good on the run. Nice soft surfaces most of the way. Got that long run feel in me now. Forgot how clutch Sunday morning longs runs are.
