track 26:12 [3] 3.0 mi (8:44 / mi)
Got up early and went to the Smith indoor track (it's open to the community from 6 to 8 in the morning. Had in mind to run three miles, and I did, but it sure seemed like hard work. 9:04, 8:36, 8:33. Pulse around 150-155.
rogaine base building 14:33 [1] 1.0 mi (14:33 / mi)
And then walked a mile, more or less (7 laps in the outside lane).
Time for breakfast.

rogaine base building 1:19:40 [1] 4.12 mi (19:20 / mi) +656ft 16:48 / mi
From the gate, up the jeep road to the hairpin turn, and back. 42:30 up, 37:10 back.
A little longer than I planned on, wasn't sure how far I would go when I started out, but it was pretty nice out and I just keep going. Footing was good, no ice, crunchy, a bit of a crust, sank in an inch or two so it was a little slow, but mainly no ice (the section up the big reentrant can get some wicked ice flows). Saw three dogs (and their owners), 2 on leashes and very well controlled, and I made a point of thanking the owners, and one loose but very mellow. No other "wildlife," but the woods were lovely.
Good training for Sunday's sprints.

Note
Highlight of the day (so far) was the arrival of a care package from the ladies at the office, a "flower" arrangement from an outfit called Edible Arrangements. Absolutely wonderful. I believe we got the arrangement called "Berry Chocolate Bouquet with Dipped Daisies." The chocolate dipped pineapple is especially fine and, of course, oh so good for you (good for the soul, that is).
