Long run. 6:35 am, 36-44°F, 16% humidity, wind 4 SW. I went up and looked at the trail yesterday and it looked good, so we decided to run on it today. Michelle was planning on 6 miles and I was planning on 16 and it's a little disheartening to still have 10 miles left when the others are finished. I realized that it was about 5 miles from my house to the rec center where we meet to run on the trail, and so I ran there this morning, ran with Michelle and Ali on the trail, and then ran back home. It turned out that I didn't look at enough of the trail yesterday. It turned out to have a lot more snow and ice on it that I expected. It was slick in spots. Unfortunately, Ali twisted her ankle when we had a little less than a half mile to go, so we walked the rest of the way back. I hope her ankle is okay. It turned out, as I figured it would, that running to the rec center was easier than running home from the rec center. Running there is gradually downhill all the way and I had the wind behind me. Coming home was gradually uphill and into the wind all the way. AP: 9:46. Splits: 10:10, 9:46, 9:24, 9:29, 9:25, 9:54, 9:52, 9:58, 10:14, 10:23, 9:49, 9:52, 9:40, 9:23, 9:23, 9:37.
