Sun 8/12 - double, 2:30 total plus 25 minutes in Walden

AM - just under 2 hours, Pratt's Brook to Great Hill, then over to Acton Arboretum and on to Mt. Hope. Finished up on Rockland Ave and Acton Street. A warm morning, started a bit later than I would have liked but didn't suffer unduly for it. First half hour was at a very easy pace and not by choice, took a long time to fully wake up and for legs to feel good at all. Eventually got to a point where I was moving along at a more steady clip. Thought I was fading at about 90 minutes but a quick break w/fluids and I was able to get through the rest of the run in one piece and even do five strides on the way in. Left hip flexor got increasingly sore the final 45 minutes or so. Right hip/hammie not as tight as it was last night.

PM - very easy to the pond, 25 minutes in the pond, very easy back to the car. Debated whether to do a second run but I decided to go through with it in order to stretch out afterwards as much as anything else. A pleasant evening to be in the water, not so much for running. Humidity building up again.
