Russell's Baseline Running Test

Today was the day we chose to do Russell's official "baseline running test". Russell was reluctant to get out the door until later this week, but the threat/promise of snow tomorrow was strangely motivating.
I suggested that instead of trying to figure out a specific distance (e.g.: 3k), we do a loop near our house. An easy loop to replicate in future as a fitness test!
After a 5 minute warm-up in which the dog thankfully pooped so I could drop it home and not carry it (good boy, Brizzy!), we set off.

Total distance: 2.69km
Total time: 21.14min
Average pace: 7.54 min/km

Run Interval # 1: 7.09min 907m, 7.54min/km
Run Interval # 2: 12.44min, 1.66km, 7.42min/km

Brizzy was a lot more settled into the idea of not getting as many sniffs are p-mail stops, but he continues to struggle with the concept of running with humans.
