Recovery Run around Hermann Park

3.29 miles, 29:14, 8:53 pace, Avg HR = 132, Max HR = 145

I ran around Hermann Park with Julie this morning before church. We could both feel the soreness of the prior day's run, and we started out at a very slow pace. To our suprise we ended up at a sub-9 minute average pace, thanks in part to working out some of the kinks and stiffness after mile 1. It's nice to run with Julie, and I wish our schedules worked out so we could do it more often.

We ran by the "gym" twice . . . an outside exercise area with areas for push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, etc and even a shower! It's always humorous to see the locals meet there in groups, and the leaders conduct their sessions.

Mile splits:
9:32, 8:56, 8:22
