Decided to try running on Wednesday knowing full well that I would need to run around a garbage can in the middle of the sidewalk that is always there on Wednesdays. It turned out pretty well. 4.62 miles in 55:02, for an average pace of 11:55/mi at 126bpm, max 134bpm. It was colder than usual (29 degrees) and I still beat yesterday's time on the same run, at the same heart rate by 30 seconds per mile. I don't have a good explanation, but I think I was more rested.
