7/23 Run - New SLU Clockwise PR?

Much cooler day on Thurdsday, and I was working so I couldn't get out as early as I would have liked. Started at 1145 and 62 degrees. Much better. :)

Decided to do a clockwise around the lake, and started off nicely. Got caught by the Fremont Bridge at about 1.5 miles in, and had to stop the clock and wait for 5 minutes or so. This occurred during my last PR around the lake. I'm still not sure if I should count it. I will, but I still have some doubts. I think the rest makes a big difference.

I think next week I may experiment with an ultra style hard and fast 5run:1walk ratio and see what that does for my speed. I'll keep the runs under my current HR target, but walk quickly and see.

Saw the kids group out kayaking by Zymo again. Still need to get the boat out. Maybe once we get done painting the house.
