Notes
Ran this loop backwards (counterclockwise). It's really different this way. The A and Cotner and O crossings are much easier, due both to the early hour and to improved line of sight. The J Street leg seemed interminable, though seemingly not because of the strong NW wind. It gave me a huge boost once I turned south; also the running surface was much more reliable. So, different, generally good, but I will probably go back to my habitual routes for most future runs.
Wind 26 mph, gusts to 36.
