One-fifth of a 50K

I've not been able to get out to walk much lately and so I determined to this morning. To beat the heat, I planned on being at the park by 630AM. The blueberry lagers from the day before, however, didn't want to start until 7. I acquiesced.

It was my intention to do six laps (6.6 miles) at a brisk pace. After the first quarter lap I decided to pick it up a little, so I ran. I ran quite a bit. I walked when it was uphillish or when I was facing the sun, but I ran more than I walked. After I'd completed the fifth lap I started feeling fatigued, so I took the pace down and did a bit more walking. The running, however, still won out.

It was definitely the best 6.6 miles I've done in ages.

Since when is running in circles something to be proud of?
