Evening Run — June 6, 2026

I headed out around 7 PM when the heat finally broke, and my legs felt surprisingly good from the start. Knocked out just over 4K at a 5:19 pace, which is solid for me on a Saturday evening when I'm usually dragging. The route was mostly flat with only 38 meters of elevation, so nothing too dramatic – just steady running through the neighborhood while people were out watering their lawns and walking dogs.

Twenty-one minutes went by faster than I expected. I've been trying to build consistency with these shorter runs instead of always pushing for distance, and it's paying off. My breathing stayed controlled the whole time, and I finished feeling like I could've gone longer if I wanted to. Sometimes these unremarkable runs end up being the most satisfying ones.
