Phoenix Lake. Started running about 720am. Already 60 degrees. Ran in shorts, and very glad I did. Didn't sleep well, legs rather stiff (no stretching before I left), so intended to take it easy, which I did. Pleased that I was able to maintain a decent pace anyway. Picked it up a bit over the final half mile.

Walked up the first hill on Glenwood with L, and down the steepest part, started jogging before the bottom. Tried to start the Garmin FR 235 at the bottom, but when I went to take the first split at the country club, saw that it hadn't started. Futz around while I was running but couldn't get it going (and still can't as I write this). When I reached the gate on Dibblee (the road into the park), I started keeping track of the time by just looking at the time of day.

It was very lovely hanging out for several minutes at the lake shore after running.

old 2.75 mi in 2648 --- now thinking of this as 2.65 miles

[Easy distance]

Cool down on the S part of the lake road to just past the first reentrant then back to the top of the hill down to the dam.

Walked with L from the lake shore spot back to the car. Actually jogged from just past the N.Green parking lot to the country club, about .35 mi.
