Just a quick little home loop to get the blood flowing. Obviously quick in time out not speed run :)

Slept in a  little extra this morning. The day therefore felt like it started slow but ended fine. Did a home loop in the early evening.

Happy March. Kind of hard to believe another month has flown by. Commute run in. Slowly building back to pre-grant and then hopefully I can train again...

A rare SugaHouse loop. It has been a while since I've done the outside loop. Considering the dozens of times I have it was strange being there again.
