Logged 28 km on the backyard trail Thursday. Did it in a little unconventional way doing 5 separate runs with a minimum of 30 minutes in between to be awarded a point in the April Challenge.
Basically its 5 of the same 5.6 km runs ...Garmin GPS data is a little off. Its 400 metres to the trail head then a 800 metre loop done 5 times good for 5.6 km each outing.
It was a really miserable weather day , high winds with snow off and on and the temp a few degrees to just below freezing. I generally prefer not to run in these conditions so it was a good character builder. So the 5 runs made for 20 complete clothing changes. Each loop dropping my normal close , getting into my running gear then reversing it on return. The return to the house was a quick strip done as soon as I entered the house. Hung all the gear next to the wood stove to be baked dry.
This turned out to be a very effective day. Felt like I always do after any long run and was really tired 2 days out like after an Ultra! I will definetly be doing this again its also a good leed up to the day I run a full 50 km back there sometime in May.
Blue Day 3

Fresh snow and sun brought allot of folks to the hill today. It was busy
so I didn't get a whole lotta runs in.
