Notes
Hercules 5K! I anticipate Saturday morning will be even colder and thought the fresh fallen snow would insulate and soften the temps, whereas tomorrow will be clear and windy. I set out with three layers below the waist and four above. Balaclava + hat. I actually started to overheat five minutes in, but then I adjusted my zipper and regulated. I made two peaceful loops of the Common; one in each direction. The pathway was well-cleared, with the remaining snow providing just the right amount of traction. Grinning like a fool under cover of my face mask. As I approached the final block to home, I glanced at my Garmin. 2.96. I rounded out to 3.1 for my impromptu 5K. Then I went inside and took selfies of the ice on my eyelashes and texted everyone to brag of my madness. More miles than degrees/more miles than sense.
