Since I didn't have XC practice for the first time since August I got home early. It was freezing cold with the wind, but I didn't let that scare me because I knew it would be okay for running. I did wear a thicker long-sleeve shirt and gloves though. I went on the canal trail towards South Willard and back. I took it easy because of my sore left achilles and right quad, but once I went a couple miles I could hardly feel either injury. It was nice to work the rolling hills a little and be out on a beautiful trail during the fall. It was a good run eventhough I never felt super in my legs. I did hit under 6:45 miles for the last couple miles without any effort, so that was nice. 1:14:38 for the run with a 9 minute first mile.
