Hiking 1:01:45 [3] 5.22 mi (11:50 / mi) +460ft 10:55 / mi
Over to Kennedy Park for a nice muddy trail run. :-)
Trails were as I expected--drying out somewhat, but with sections still covered with snow/ice, the ground hasn't thawed out completely yet, making for slipping and sliding from time to time.
I wore my new Ultimate Direction vest for the first time; a present from Colette, it is the Anton Krupika version, with two water bottles in front of one's chest. At first I thought it wasn't so great--too much bouncing around of the bottles, but with tightening various straps, it seemed to get better. And, in all fairness, there wasn't any weight in the back to offset the heavy weight in front. I do like it now.
The legs weren't quite recovered, after all, from the six-hour rogaine, so I cut back on my planned distance. Seems that I'm getting better at mis-estimating my recovery levels. :-)
