Notes
Ran with a new ERC member who is training for the Wisconsin Marathon & had a nine mile run scheduled so I ran the extra mile (and change because we ran a new route and ended up with an extra quarter mile getting back to the start). Run was very steady and effort was extremely consistent. About 2/3rds of the the first five miles was on the Prairie Path which was snowed covered but runable. Mile 4 was entirely snow covered & uphill so pace slowed. But effort was still steady as pace picked up immediately in Mile 5 when we were back on dry pavement. Last four miles were on the streets, which were dry and ice free, and pace naturally picked up with the same effort but better traction. Felt strong the entire distance. Completed full set of exercise routines after the run.
