| Birds Hill Park with MrPither and dkonotopetz. Planned on going to Grand Beach, but getting there was going to take too long with the shitty road conditions. Ran along some of the twisty mountain bike trails, over to the gravel pits south of the park, up the hills there 18 times (my total if I counted correctly), back around and along the rest of the mtb trails. Just picked a number for the distance; assuming 15 m per hill at the pits for the climb.
Had some fun going downhill at the pits, sliding and skidding in the snow or snow/gravel. But apparently that was rather brutal on my shoes, as the bottoms are coming apart now. Hopefully they can be fixed... probably shouldn't wear them otherwise since the snow builds up in where they're coming apart, and running with a bulge in the bottom of my shoes can't be good for me. The shoes would probably be okay if there's no snow, but I likely won't go for many snow-free runs for the next few months. |
