Notes
This run was awesome. It was like 35 degrees this morning and it snowed over night here in Des Moines. Thankfully it didnt accumulate on roads/paths at all. My dad came out with me on my bike and I was happy for his company. Well for 90% of it. He made me deviate from the usual out and back because some area had a sign that said "bow hunting in progress". I'm sure we would have been fine, but we turned around early anyway and I just added on at the end.
Didn't feel quite as relaxed as last week on the way out, and I definitely didn't keep it as easy on the way back. I got into a really good rhythm from mile 7 or 8 onwards. Got back to my car at mile 12 and had to go another 1.5 out on the bikepath and back to get to 15. I was definitely driving miles 14 and 15 to try to keep the pace up. Great run and a nice confidence booster.
