Before catching a cab to the Detroit Airport and my flight back home to Salt Lake City, I woke up early for one last run in Windsor. The night before, when looking at a map of the city, I decided to make this a destination run to Lake View Park and Marina which overlooks Lake St. Clair (approximately 8-9 miles away from the dorms I was staying in). When I woke up and headed outside of Alumni Hall, it started to rain. A half mile into the run, it really started to pour and I had a few thoughts about turning back. However, I was determined to reach my destination and after two miles the weather quickly changed and the sky started to clear up which made for a great sunrise. I made it to Lake View Park and Marina and admired the view! On the way back, it was a battle against the wind, but I made it in time to get to the airport. In summary, I completed 17.3 miles at an easy pace (8:28 minutes per mile).
When I got back to Salt Lake City, I completed my daily non-running workout of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. It feels great to be home! |
