Long run. 7:34 am, 31-45°F, 18-12% humidity, wind calm/2 WSW. I ran out to the 4.5 milepost on the Highline Canal Trail and back twice, the first time with Michelle and Michelle. They were planning to do 8 miles today, but I talked them into doing 9 so that I would be half done when they finished. I took a short break/pit stop in the rec center after finishing with them and going out for the second time.
About 50% of the trail is covered with snow and/or ice. On my second time out and back, some of the sections with just a little ice had turned muddy. 18 miles is never easy for me. I'm glad to be done. It was nice to have friends and conversation for the first half of the run. I listened to music for the second half. AP: 9:42. Splits: 9:57, 9:45, 9:47, 9:59, 9:59, 10:28, 10:29, 10:16, 10:18, 9:29, 9:26, 9;37, 9:18, 9:09, 9:28, 9:16, 9:21, 8:40.
