Given my dismal performance and near calamity yesterday, I did not want a repeat, but none of my scheduled runs really fit into what I felt like I could do, so I just improvised.

Today I did a 4-mile run at 5.6 miles per hour, which took me about 45 minutes.  I guess I’ll just call it my 15-minute cross training and forgive myself for some past half-hour of cross training that I skipped.

I enjoyed jogging along the shoulder in Sierra Vista, waving at the cars as they periodically passed and talking to barking dogs trying to accompany me down the road, at least as far as their fences would let them.
