Mueller Park Trail. 5:30 a.m. 14 degrees. This was my first time on this trail since the big wind storm that came through. I was a bit surprised by how many trees had fallen down. But I was even more surprised by how many had been cleaned up and cleared off the trail. There were only four threes that still laid across the trail. The snow on the trail this morning was perfect. It made for great traction and a smooth run. These are the kind of conditions one can only experience by running in below freezing temps. I made it up to Elephant Rock in 45:39. I ate a frozen shot blok and then headed back down. Down time was just under 32 minutes. Not real fast this morning but it felt great. |
