SRRC group run -- Sun. November 30

Icy day and heavy cloud; a bit cold for running, but not *too* low a temperature. Arrive at D&D just in time, to find Amy, Bill, then Andy and Jay: just the five of us enfin, so we talk a bit then head off for an 8-9 miler, with Bill planning 14. Route is an Enfield extended, starting through the high school, up to town center, then Jabish and Enfield, coming back via Allen, Hamilton, and Jackson to Howard, then under the road and in. As we came down Allen, Andy and Bill planned the extra loop, so at Bay, those three set off right and Amy and I went left to Hamilton. Pace was steadily comfortable, with a bit of pushing on the hills.

Time: 1:09:11
Distance: 8.69 miles
Pace/Speed: 7:58/7.54 mph

Comment: nice loosening run -- made it in shorts, but also hat, gloves, jacket, plus two layers. Sleet came on as we did the last three miles or so, but still quite nice; short sprint at the end for good measure, too.

Talking with Amy afterwards I learned that numbleg/foot (of which no sign today) comes from lower back trouble, probably disk-related. Ouf. Hoping it will fade away again as I get back into good mileage.
