Got a wild thought after talking to a friend, and I decided if he could do it, so can I. So, I grabbed the pups this morning and took off for the local county park. It has a 2 mile exercise loop. Went 3 times.. Nice n slow and easy pace. Nothing over the top, just a long slow pace. Squirrel alerts, and slipping the pups off the leash for some free run time, then back on.. at the end I took off my VFFs and finished barefoot. Lots of people were there, I was surprised. Course the biggest "issue" was not trying to compete with myself. I finished one loop, checked the time. Finished the second loop.. ooh, a little slower. Over half done with third loop, look at my watch and realize I have really slowed down, so I pick it up a little bit. So much for slow and easy. Finished and my heart rate was up, oh well, so much for non compete...
