Ran from Middletown, CA, West to the county park, around the trails at the park, and back.
Route. I mostly ran on the soft shoulders when on roads. After a long day in the car, my legs felt somewhat stiff, and as usual my left hamstring hurt in the early part of the run. Once I got warmed up, I felt pretty good but still somewhat slow in the legs. My stride was long and powerful, though, and I ended up running somewhat briskly in the middle and later parts of the run.
