From the Ken Gar Palisades Park parking lot, up the Rock Creek Trail to the Lake Needwood Park parking lot and back. I was once again looking for pavement since running on wooded trails now would be icy, muddy and slow, and probably not as good for me right now. It was nice running through the park and being able to see off into the woods. I don't run or bike through some of these parts of the trail a lot any more and when I do, the leaf cover hides things. I felt pretty good starting out; better than when orienteering yesterday. The pavement probably had much to do with that. My pace went up and down according to the hills on the route. I worked harder toward the end and my left knee ached a little afterward. There were some short icy parts and a few areas with standing water. Starting out it was 48 F and cloudy but it was 62 F and sunny at the end.
