One of my favorite parks isn’t very safe right now. A couple women have been grabbed and a guy was caught walking around with his pants down.

Today was relatively cool – in the 70s – and sunny, so I assumed the park would be crowded — crowded means safe in my eyes. It was crowded enough that I felt safe without it being too crowded.

I had planned to do two 1.2 mile laps at a moderate speed. The first lap was easy at 18:51 and I picked up the pace a tiny bit for 18:21. I felt so good, I did a third lap in 17:58. That’s a 15-min mile — not fast, but it fit the goal of an easy walk.

I missed walking over the weekend because my knees have been bothering me. I tried out a knee support today and it seemed to help. I’ll be icing in a little bit.
