Comments: Remembered the 3 things I should always do: 1) Garmin HRM-Pro Plus Heart Rate Monitor; 2) Anti-chafing; and 3) Sunblock ✅ Ran with Dawn the first 10 miles, then solo for the last 7 miles. The pain in my right knee was disquieting. It lasted for a few steps, then went away. On my solo run, I felt it a bit at the beginning and then not so much. Not great. The temperature was well above 60 F today, so we went pretty slow to start. The heat seems to activate some of the aromatic wood mulches which I enjoyed. Coyote Lagoon at Don Edwards quickly becoming my favorite place: bird watching, cattails, water, and not smelly (so far). Stopped at the usual places for electrolytes. We ran 2:30 and walked 1 minute, which helped quite a bit with keeping overall exertion below maximum (was 4:00 minutes run followed by 1 minute walk in previous long runs). After 10 miles I re-applied sunblock, had a caffeinated electrolyte powder, and recharged my phone a bit. On the solo run, I found a pet cemetery. From a bit of research, it was established in the 1970's and now seems to rest on about 2 acres of land adjacent to an overpass and an office parking lot. The graves seemed cared for, and several had plush animals and other decorations. Later, I noticed a piece of corporate exterior art in a deserted parking lot and departed the sidewalk to take a photo. As I looked around the base of the art for an artist plaque, a speaker on the building squawked to life with static and then I heard a female voice say "Attention, Attention, You are on private property and are being recorded and monitored live". I shook my head and continued back to the sidewalk. Pretty good security though on a sleepy Sunday 🏆 The new route I explored had lots of green space and almost zero traffic, which I enjoyed. The rest of the run was uneventful, which was great. I kept having to slow myself down in the final miles. I was running in the 11-minute/mile pace range and forced myself to relax. My right instep was sore and I kept trying to adjust my foot inside the shoe to relieve the pressure, to mixed results. My one whimsical thought: would vampires be great food delivery drivers, assuming recipients might invite them in to deliver the food (though most would not)? 😅 After finishing, I walked for about 0.5 miles, showered, and then we went out to celebrate a personal occasion in Mountain View. Overall I made it through 17 miles without too much complication, though getting out earlier will become more important as mileage continues to increase.
Any irregular feelings, aches, pains, heart rate, and so forth?: Right knee (front) felt painful a few times when starting; some light-headed feelings when stopped; right instep sore in later miles; outside of toes sore
