Went on the snomo trails and I worried for a moment that I had cooked myself somewhere along the way and missed the signal. Due to an adundance of dry snow and frigid air it can only pack so much before the top layer gets crumbly. If the area got another brief thaw/refreeze then people on foot might have better travels. A rolled oats texture and appearance on the uphills made it feel like a lot of work but little gain. Traction devices wouldn't have made a difference for this trail run. Came in on the usual singletrack...
Duration: 44 minutes
Just to be on the safe side I chose to do a flat run on the pavement w/my HR monitor. Out Old Superior to Lakewood and back on Scenic 61 until passing thru Brighton Beach. That was going to be it but I had such a great rhythm established to continue onto 54th Ave E, over a few more blocks on Dodge and an alley, up 51st to Tioga to hang a right for home. My lub dub sounds came at a rate similar to when I last took to the streets a month ago. However, the pace was quite an improvement!
Duration: 55 minutes
