Run in the Dirt

I used the equestrian trail and the reservoir track today, so the entire run was on a trail. Dirt is better for my knees than asphalt, I'm told.

I set up my nifty Garmin watch to track intervals today. This is such a great feature! I set it for warmup/cooldown and started out with 10mins at an "easy" pace... which I realized was much faster (9:30) than I probably should have been going. Then the watch counted out my splits for me, 30s strides with 5mins easy running to break them up. I will set the timer better next time, but this worked well today. I was able to glance at my pace and watch my speed a bit today, as I wasn't watching the time. I am very inconsistent. I would like to try to improve in this area.

Also, my strides were too fast. But I'm learning, and I'm performing better overall.
