Run Streak Day 133: 3.10 miles. 2021 miles 358.12

For IBRD virtual running, I did my normal 5 k and took it easy.

Garmin stats are 3.10 miles in 27:48 for an avg pace of 8:58. Splits were 9:15, 9:01, 8:40. Training effect was 3.0 with an average HR of 142.

Hope everyone else enjoyed there IBRD run as well.

Connecting ourselves to the earth, to nature and to our primal selves is an incredibly important act, offering us immense physical and mental health benefits.
