Notes
Cloudy kinda warm, light wind going out, 40 deg. Plan was to run to the boat launch and back. Around my left knee was sore once I got through the light and onto River street. Didn't exactly feel like IT band pain. Also top of knee sore for a bit. Maybe quad related? Felt better as I went up Falls hill. ATV parking area at the trail head was all mud. Tried to skirt my way around it before stopping to put on my spikes. Not a lot of base snow. Some thin icy stretches and the snow was soft, not beachy though but definitely slowed me down. Kinda tired going out. Stopped at the boat launch for a bit and then turned around and headed back. Got out a GU and had that. Ran on the packed edge of the trail and it was more firm and I could go faster. Faster pace coming back. More energy after having the GU. After the bridge I took Canal street and back the usual way from a high school run. Good run. My left achillies has been a little sore, I think from running in the snow.
