Mon 9/28 - PM 90 minutes

Walden woods. Started out feeling pretty good, both with the leg and overall energy levels. As a result, the pace was quicker than it has been at the outset of runs of this length. As things went along though, the difference between a run in Area 51 and running on these trails became readily apparent. Nothing I didn't know before, the footing is more uneven and the terrain more rolling, but it was enough to cause a noticeable wilting just before the hour mark. The footing in particular made it hard on the adductor. Dragging at times the last 30 minutes, but rallied somewhat once I got back on pavement for the final stretch. Need to go easier tomorrow. Mild and sunny all day at work, clouds rolled in by late afternoon though and it was faintly sticky out by the time I got started.
