Conflicted Runner

This was sort of a race. It was a local event (Halifax, Nova Scotia) for the Nike Human Race. No chip timing or anything. It was a 7pm start -- so it was in the dark-- and it was coldish and raining, which made for an interesting run. I ran it with my twin sister and a fairly pedestrian pace. Frustrating having to wait on stop lights about 3 or 4 times over the last 2.5 miles of the run.

 All in all it was fine. 

My first run with my puppy. 2 miles was a start. I will try her again on Sunday for perhaps 3.

I ran after I arrived in Fredericton, NB for a business meeting the next day. They have a great set of trails that weave through the city that follow what had been the railroad tracks. It was not a fast run, but on the heals of some soreness post half-marathon it was fine.

 Even better, aside from a little stiffness the next morning it didn't make any of the hurts worse.
