Notes
Mostly sunny, super warm for February, wore shorts and t-shirt. Ran Black Bridge loop from mill via Penobscot St and the little loop around Washington St. before heading out to Black Bridge. Started to struggle after the first couple miles, like I did the last time I ran this loop in the wind. Ran 1/4 mile beyond the bridge and back to make sure I got 8 miles. Stopped at the snowmobile trail, which was really soft, to gather myself and have a GU. Felt better on the way back in and I was able to hold the pace better. Worked hard to keep the paced up back to the mill. Did a cool down back and forth across the footbridge. Sky was clouding up and temperature was starting to drop a little. About an hour later it was raining. Time the run just right. Good run, need to get some more of these faster paced runs in. Great to able to run in shorts and short sleeve T-shirt.
