Since today was Saturday, I woke up early to take James to swimming, then headed over to Eisenhower Park. I figured there would be some way of navigating around the 5k loop there...even hoping that perhaps by some miracle the park workers felt obliged to plow the paths. I planned on doing 4 loops, leaving me just enough time to get there and back from Chaminade.
Well, it could best be described as a mixed bag. Some parts were clear, some parts were packed down, some were ice, and some were drifts of a foot or more. The first loop took nearly half and hour, so I knew there was no way to get 4 done. I ran three loops total, then a couple of extra laps around the first mile of it, part of which runs along the parking lot.
I stopped at the 1:45 minute mark, good enough for 11 or 12 miles. While less than what I had hoped for in mileage for the day, a 1:45 minute run hit the spot for extending my effort level.
89 miles down, 411 to go...
