The exact nature of the time and distance is based upon me glancing at the time when i left and upon my return to the kitchen. I walked out, down the stairs, and as I left the driveway started jogging. It was 9:09 AM when I was stepping out and 10:01 AM when I was back, having jogged all the way through without stopping.
Based upon the distance feature of a certain game, I went somewhere around 6K, and the route I took I knew would be at least 5k or more, so that is pretty good. That mid-teens per mile feels accurate.
The weather felt great, and i was giving myself the grace to just do what I could, given where I was a year ago with my health. It is a far cry from the marathon era, but getting back to this feels actually pretty good.
The event was officially the
2024 National Turkey Trot - Remote Runners
and I signed up for the 5K.
