Easy 2.3

Just keeping the streak, if it is one, alive. An easy 2.3 along the local bike trail. Basically flat, one tiny bump to climb the approach to a railroad track. A day to feel out the legs. This course is kinda my default one, close to where I drop Key off at school, has easy, semi-private parking, and is along the bike trail, for when I have Mace along. Probably will be there tomorrow.

Stats:
2.30 miles in 19:48 (8:26 pace, 173 bpm)

Hobbs 2.3
While I have not committed yet, I'm acting as if I intend to commit to my 365 day challenge. Today, I did 6 miles at 8:08 pace (marathon pace). First time I've probably done 6 since August, so I was happy with the pace. Final mile was at 7:09 (slightly elevation-aided). With a fresh couple inches of snow, had some footing problems. One that I don't remember ever having before was having snow build up in the heels of my shoes--had to drag my heels when I found some bare asphalt. Ran much better than hoped for.
