Home to TPC
6:17 AM; Hamline Midway/Como Park
3.9 °C; Cloudy
Mild morning, wet pavement from the drizzle we had most of the night. While walking around the lot with the dogs, it seemed that there were no icy spots. Confirmed this, while riding in, not even in the deeply shaded areas. The skier within is deploring the fact that the frost has not deeply penetrated the ground yet but the cylist is happy that there weren't any slippery spots. Just as I was barreling onto the boardwalk coming down from the Guthrie, a yellow lab ambled into my lane. He is out here almost every morning, off leash, with his owner, on the green space N of the boardwalk. Today, he was a little farther away from his master, fortunately he was sporting a light. Might not have seen him otherwise. Got away with wearing thin gloves this morning.

Energy Park Short
4:40 PM; Hamline Midway/Frogtown
10.0 °C; Chance of rain
It started drizzling. A dark evening, too, compared to yesterday. The shortcomings of the puny, solar-powered crossing light at Hamline and Pierce Butler became obvious tonight: cars do not heed it. I stepped into traffic and was almost hit. Other notes: They are drilling with water to put in underground cables. In some locations, the water breaks through the side of the RR embankment and makes mud puddles in the hill and on the blacktop below. Lastly, there was a great blue heron just a step away in the dark, under the overland transmission line near the Energy Park thermal well building. Wondered whether it had had a collision with it. I tried to snap a pick but the dogs noticed it and it flew off.

EU MYR: Hill Bounding 45:00
6:30 PM; Battle Creek West, St. Paul
10.5 °C; Chance of rain
Dreary drizzle tonight, but good spirit all around. 12:00 warm-up jog, then 45:00 continued hill bounding. Those hills are hard work. Did it with my faithful partner Jamie. We lost contact with the leading group (Jake, Mike B and Jim) after 2 laps, If we did keep up with them, we'd have zero recovery between the hills, which defeats the purpose. We had an excellent workout, did 4 full laps and the one with all the climb but not the downhill. Recovery hike back to the rec center parking lot, where we did some stretches in the picnic pavilion.
