Enfield in the dark -- Thu. Dec. 3

Home early thanks to car trouble; after chauffeuring R to 柔術 head out on a mild evening with some moon/cloud to light the way. Aiming for 4-5 miles, but feel good enough to open up a bit and stretch it. Start on an extended 5K route, to 9, then right to 202, and left up towards Allen, but then decide to go right instead of left, aiming for the Quabbin. Up Allen, warming up a bit and pushing the hills, and then left and go all the way to the water's edge, then turn round and head back all along Enfield to 9, then right and straight back towards home, stopping the clock just past the supermarket:

Time: 53:31
Distance: 7.11 miles
Pace: 7:34s

Comment: didn't push too hard, either on distance or pace, but all in all this felt pretty good. This will be my warm-up for the Hot Chocolate 5K. . .
