rmc28I was too busy at the weekend, but today was a day off between a family visit and Loncon3, so I took advantage and did a longer run. (Also I had insomnia last night, so deliberately wanted to tire myself out so I'd stand a good chance of napping afterward.)
8.5k at 30s:45s run:walk, on the warm side for most of the run, but not actively unpleasant. I was trying a new route, avoiding the nice paths near my workplace, and was aiming for 8km, so the overrun was fine. I did vaguely consider pushing it to 10k by adding a bit extra in near home, but was sufficiently tired when I got there not to bother.
I was careful to stretch afterward and have no sore toes or knees this evening, over 9 hours later, just minor muscle aches as expected. And I caught up an extra 3-4 hours sleep afterward too :-)
I'm now off to Loncon tomorrow, where I will miss the Zombies Run discussion panel due to going to the zoo on Friday, but may make the group ZR session on Saturday morning. We're staying a fair walk from the Excel, which itself is huge, so I expect to get more than enough walking in during the con. I'm taking my running gear anyway, in case of opportunity.
