through old haunts with JB

February 15, 2016 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: freezing drizzle, 28 and 2-3 inches of snow on the ground

Comments:
Jonny's flight got delayed by snow. He and I got a late start, but headed out around 5pm. Ran the back way to the STA track, but found it predictably locked. Made our way back mostly via Wisconsin Ave. the conditions worsened as we ran due to freezing drizzle on the roads, and cleared sidewalks. Spent much of the run seeking out slush and deep snow so as to get traction. Fell only once rounding the "1320 corner" from Garfield onto 34th Street, but turned it into a graceful roll onto my back in the snow. Pace was controlled throughout. half mile from Norton Pl to Upton was just over 4:00, but the final .5 mile in from Belt road was 3:43 without much effort... just better footing.
