sunday sunshine
i headed out mid-morning with a sunny sky and temperatures hovering in the mid-20’s. the wind was coming from the SW so i headed in that direction or as much south as i could. the glacial drumlin trail isn’t plowed out in one section which cuts down my options a bit. regardless, i headed south to the outskirts of town and turned around after 6 miles. crossing sunset avenue i noticed a minivan that looked alot like our vehicle heading west…which turned out to be my wife rolling home after picking up a birthday cake for alia. she gave me a honk and a wave as i made the turn north along the bike trail.
after passing by the city dump and dpw facility, i opted to turn west onto the glacial drumlin and get as far as i could before running into the unplowed section. i then turned north on grandview and worked my way up a series of two big hills on my way back to my subdivision. i rolled home after 11.2 miles in a few clicks over 1:38 and called it a day.
admittedly, there were quite a few icy patches to contend with which slowed my overall pace down. honestly, i didn’t mind a slow pace considering how often i’ve been running indoors this month.
