Leisurely Ten -- Sun. Jan. 7

Fine day again, if not quite as bizarrely warm as yesterday. Bright and sunny, and Mark was free at 2:30 so we met here and headed out to the railtrail. Entered it via GeoHannum to add a bit, and then plodded along all the way to the crossing at Washington, which we then followed to Bardwell, going right to 21 and then we were at the canal junction. Took the canal path all the way back to Washington, then crossed and railtrailed it home again. Stopped the clock at 9 miles as it was time for a break, but then we added a closing run back to the development, so I just nicely cleared my 10 mile goal:

Time: 1:18:07 & 9:08
Speed: 7 mph & 6 mph
Distance: 9.08 & 0.92 miles

Comment: a pleasant and warming cup of cocoa at the end with Mark, and we talked also about the Town & Country 10 miler coming up late February. Seems like we might try for it. . .But now it's pack and fly time, so who knows when and where I'll run next: London? Dorset? Shrewsbury? We'll see.
