245.2
Workout:
Walked/Ran the loop trail at Discovery Park with a 16 - 18 pound pack. The main loop trail is 2.8 miles. I went the longer route that goes down to the beach. I think this route must go over 4 miles, probably 4.5 or so, but I don't know for sure. I'll try and find out.
Time: 1 hr 12 mins with a couple of brief stops and some delays getting around the lighthouse. True baseline is probably 1 hr 5 mins if I avoid the lighthouse.
It felt awesome to do this. I've been doing this loop for years, sometimes with a pack and sometimes without, but I've never felt this strong. Usually, I'll trot down some of the slopes to improve my time, but this time I felt myself running for long stretches at a time and it felt really, really good. I kinda felt like I was back in bootcamp.As for the time result, I'm pretty sure every time I did this last year it took me at least 1 hr 40 mins. It blows me away how much stronger I am now. Next time I do this, I'll add some weight to the pack to get it up to 20 pounds. This is a real good Active Rest Day - type workout.
