We decided to do our 3 mile run today at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis, since we were already going to be in that area, but also because of yesterday’s storm. I took a drive around our neighborhood yesterday morning and there were a lot of trees, branches, and other debris along our normal run route, so I didn’t think it would be a very safe place to run today.
We did the other running around we needed to do first, and then we headed over to Quiet Waters Park for our run. We started our run around 5:00 pm and the weather couldn’t have been much better! After the heat and humidity that we had this past week and weekend, 80 degree weather with 48% humidity felt great! So great that we didn’t want to stop running after only 3 miles.
Our 3 mile run today was much faster than our 12 minute a mile pace, but the weather just felt great. Since we were running a new trail, we weren’t exactly sure where it started and where all the mile markers were, or if it even had any, so we decided we would run for 35 total minutes. We knew that if we ran for 35 minutes we would definitely run at least 3 miles, so that’s what we did. We figured out after our run that we probably actually ran 3-1/4 miles, instead of only 3 miles, based on where we started and ended, and the mile markers that they had along the way.
We finished our 3-1/4 mile run in 35:00, which is a 10:46 minute mile. That is a whole minute fast per mile than our current pace had been. The run felt so good and it was nice to be able to keep a little bit of a faster pace, since we were only running 3 miles. Hope this weather stays for awhile, since it makes running so much easier!
