Happy Patriot's Day! Temperature at 5:30 was in the low 40's, no wind to speak of. Clear skies. After a warm-up mile, I started to pick up the pace as I descended into Highland Glen. I slowed as I got to the pavilion to take off my windbreaker as I was starting to get hot. It was almost light enough to see the path. Coming up out of the Glen I started picking up the pace even a little more, passed three guys who were running together in the road behind the high school (I stayed on the path). It felt about like 5K race pace. I held on to the end, but felt a little bit sick after I stopped. I said hi to Lloyd by the park parking lot as he was apparently just heading out. |
