running 1:11:00 [2] 9.0 mi (7:53 / mi)
Though about an MTB today but spend the day on party prep instead. For some reason I got it in my head that I wanted to make, not buy, the duck confit. Fairly large undertaking. Also make good progress on chopping and grinding rubs for roasts, grilling veggies, and reconstituting dried fruits in wine for chutney. Given these tasks the easier logistics of a run are much more appealing. Similar pacing to yesterday for a lot of the way but perceived effort and HR much less. After laying off the wine and heavy eating for a few back to 167 this a.m. Doubt that'll last the weekend.
