Comments: Lowest heart-rate ever. :) Wow. Not sure if it was waking up from a dream, getting ~9 hours sleep, or having fun conversations with friends last night. Most likely the 18-mile run on Saturday had something to do with it. Raining today. On the way back the water level from the river was overflowing the trail again like it did a few months ago. The river is very high. I thought I heard the alarm bell from the Nimbus Dam on the way back, which means they are opening/closing a gate. It might have been a medical or police vehicle though. The light rain made a pleasant pattering noise on the asphalt as I ran, dripping from tree branches overhanging the access road. Noticed a duck at one spot which often overflows with water as the river rises, as if it were waiting for the overflow to occur. :) Ducks seem to like that spot, I often see them there. Saw worms on the bike trail as I ran, escaping the water-logged soil. Only a few others on the trail this afternoon. I felt tired on the way back, so I took it slow, until I started thinking about things other than the scenery and running. Overall, a positive run.
