Slow Going / Potawatomi Practice Run

It’s been pretty slow again. Mostly doing short, 4-5 mile runs at a very quick (for me) pace. Last week’s 12 miler didn’t quite hit the spot. When the weather’s not raining ice it’s just barely scraping the double-digit mark. I realized I wasn’t fully utilizing my thirty dollars per month YMCA membership fee, and am trying to get in a little more treadmill time in the midst of these sub-zero wind chills.

Am planning my first visit to the Potawatomi Trail this Saturday, which will also be my first practice run for the Running Fit Trail Marathon in April. I’m ambitiously looking to do all seventeen miles in the big loop, but will realistically [probably] keep it around ten. Five miles out and five miles back.

I’m also hoping not to get shot by any hunters.
