Notes on Today's Run: Oops

Tonight's run was nice in principle. Unfortunately, I didn't get out on the road until mid-evening, which put a spanner in the works.

On the plus side, I managed to keep up a pretty good pace (4:38/km) after yesterday's rest day.

For future reference:

  • Don't try to run through cemetaries after dark - they'll be closed (I could make an off-colour joke about time for rest, but I'll just let you imagine it)
  • Don't try to run through poorly-lit parks after dark - you'll kill yourself... and if you don't, someone else will

Those two notes turned today's run from a potentially great run to just a good one. I had to alter my route in two areas, which coincidentally were the two areas I designed the route around!

Prospect Cemetary - the focus of the run - closed before I made it up there, and Cedarvale Park was just too poorly lit to be worth risking.

Ah well, I guess that gives me an excuse to go back and try it again some time...

Good advice. Especially the park one... it totally ruins the run if you get killed while on it :)
