Workout: recovery 6mi.

Not an esepcially demanding run but one with quite a few logistical demands. I spent the night at my parents house and enjoyed a foreign bed along with a few interruptions from the furry beasts scratching at the door in the middle of the night. But I got them back by ringing the doorbell as I left at 6:00am (I thought it was the garage door opener).

My run took me almost the whole way from their house to the front gate, and back. It's surprising that a community of mostly older residents has such narrow, unlit roads, without any shoulder to speak of. Every time headlights approached from behind me, if I had time I scooted to the left side of the road. If not, I stopped and walked off the right side (into the ditch) to wait for speedy to whizz by.

Not surprisingly, by the time I got home around 8pm that night I was exhausted.
