Notes
early morning run with Yarrow, Heidi, Erica, and Lauren Keller!! Yay! Lauren is in town for all the admissions and Christmas at Luther festivities this week, and I was excited to get to run with her this morning!
Dark when I headed out, but the temperatures were mild, and it's always fun to battle the dark tundra with friends. Our laughs and lighthearted conversation created warmth, and it was a blast to run with that group, as usual. We met on the dike, and ran the dikes all the way out past Bruening's Bridge and beyond the fair ground. When we hit montgomery we ran towards the hospital and then complete the St. Ben's loop back towards water street. I parted and Mechanic and headed home. We are definitely in the heart of winter routes now. Soon I may have to venture on to the trails for a little adventure and a little variety.
I had a small fartlek/tempo planned for this morning, but the group was just out for a distance run and I didn't want to leave the pack. I'll do the tempo later today and incorporate it into my warm-up before I lift.
