Pioneer Trail

July 4, 2021 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Weather calmed down a lot. This is why people live in Vancouver, not the heat dome apocalypse. Got some shade and trails today. Went over to Spanish Trail but jutted over one more to the Pioneer Trail, which is not as steep and a nice surface. Came back on the bike route and through the woods by Jericho then back up by WPGA. I put the jets on along the beach zigging around folks. Just feeling the long run pace. Slowed down a little bit up the hill then finished up quickly. Legs and gut all felt good today. It was hot but not unbearable and gave a good satisfaction to the run.

Essentials: Stretch

Did a little loop around block when I came in to round up closer to 7, including the spillover from yesterday I guess. There was no shade so I came in to stretch. Feeling pretty limber not too sore. Shoes are settling in nice and I think I am benefitting from the extra cushion now. Happy Independence Day everyone. I think we have much more to actually celebrate this year rather than contemplate and figure out how to be a better nation. Still a long, long way to go in rectifying underlying issues but we have certainly pushed the needle in the right direction.
