A run around the lake

After work today we took Damian fishing again at Lake Padden.  Chris doesn't like to eat fish, but he likes to fish.  I don't understand the appeal of fishing, especially if you don't care for fish.  But whatever.  I went along so that I could run around the lake today. 
The trail around the lake is 2.6 miles, however, it is quite steep on one side.  The run was slower (9:49 min/mile) than my current average (9:30 min/mile) but I felt wiped out afterwards.  We took a friend with us to the lake so after the run she wanted to walk around the lake.  I made the very poor decision to put flip flops on, thinking that walking around the lake would not make my shins hurt.  I was wrong.  My shins are on fire.  That means I ran and walked today for 5.2 miles.  That's a long way.

Good news!  My "official" time for the Have a Heart Run on Saturday is up (I'm anxious to see the photos now).  According to the official time, I was faster than what the app on my phone said.

I still don't know if I can count it as a PR because it wasn't actually 3.1 miles.  However, it is entirely possible my phone is off.  The Run advertised that the course was "certified," so if it's so official then it's possible that they are right and my phone is wrong.  :-)  Whatever it was, it was a fast run.  Who knew I could run that fast?  :-)

Because we went to Lake Padden today I missed Zumba.  I really enjoy it, but the family time was fun and we don't have a lot of it with all of Damian's activities.  I will go back to Zumba next Tuesday.  :-)
