Better recovery run this morning than last Wednesday morning.  Probably because I didn't push so much last night.  The mid-winter thaw has left many paths passable, although the stretch along the Humber River from Bloor south to the Lake still has soft snow and ice on it. 

Couldn't do any of the path down past the flying saucer or the treatment plant either.  Ended up going west on the Queensway, south on Parklawn and then down to the lake before turning for home.  Hence the extra 2 k.  Plus, I walked from Grenadier Restaurant back home.
