Deer Island Run

COVID-19, “The Rona Era”

Yesterday I ran 4 miles, today I went for 5 miles. The goal this week is a 10k and 10 miler before I go off to Hawaii. This morning I kept debating where to go for a 10k? Do I run in the neighborhood, drive to south Boston, or drive to Revere Beach? I didn’t to drive to Deer Island in Winthrop. I realized it has been a long time since I went out this way. Ideally, if I got my assets together, I would have been up and out earlier but I wasn’t.

It was a beautiful 51 degrees and clear day. I wanted to see how my knee would hold up because my plan was to run a 10k today. I did the loop around the island. I was the only person running. I saw one lady walking but the loop was all mine this morning.

The loop is not a 10k. After I ran the island I started running in Winthrop. When I hit mile 4. I stopped, called Beverly for our regular Tuesday morning 7 a.m. chat. Then I walked a mile back to my car. If I had been motivated, I would have gotten up when I was suppose to. 10k would have been completed and I could still chat with Beverly.

My garmin had 4 miles at a 9:57 pace. I’m not sure if my garmin is correct. It’s good to see that. The goal is to still complete a 10k and 10 miler before I go. I did good this morning. :)
