Even though the calendar suggested a rest day, I wanted to get out for a few miles. This is turning into something of a Monday ritual: out and back along a paved trail near the Depot in St. Louis Park, before it turns into gravel for a mile or more. Not sure the exact street, but there's a nice turnaround point that makes pretty near four miles after a good stretch of gravel trail.
Forgot my iPod in the office, as well as my Garmin. So it was no shirt, no watch, no music, and no shoes. Well, you know. Ran with the Five Fingers, but close enough.
It was really, really nice. Quiet. Able to really listen to my feet padding along, focusing on the run itself, instead of an awesome mix of summer music. Not that i'd want to always want to run like that, but it was pretty liberating, especially running without a watch.
A beautiful, warm, evening run.
Today's mileage:: 4 miles.
Total mileage: 161 miles.
