Skating Through The Park
The Run: 10 Miles
The Tunes: None-Just friendly conversation
The Mood: It’s a back down week! More coffee time!!
This morning I meet up with some of the NQRFPT’ers at 7am at the Fleet Feet parking lot. This week was a back down week on our schedule and after last weeks tough 14 miler, 10 miles was welcomed with open arms.
After weighing our options of potential routes we chose to run through Cherokee, up to Seneca, around the loop and back. With the light dusting of snow on the ground we decided that staying on the road and avoiding slippery sidewalks would be the safest route to take. But we later found out that the parks provided their own tricky spots and while I had a couple close calls of wiping out myself, Pam and Dave had a 2 person pile up.
We had an early enough start that we were able to get through the park and finish the run before the 5k race started. We also finished well before the snow picked back up for the day.
As we took shelter in the warm surroundings of Heine Brother’s those of us traveling to Nashville discussed our upcoming trip. We recently found out that the headliner for the post race concert is going to be Sara Evans, so we are talking about extending our trip by a day to stay the night and enjoy the free concert.
Terry kept us entertained as always. We learned from him that the Clarksville Hooters is a much desired location to work as a Hooter waitress because of the friendly atmosphere and camaraderie of the staff there. He also share with us his views on our Customs System and how much he enjoys going to Tijuana (in total sarcasm of course).
Next week we are back up to higher miles and I am looking forward to some spring like temps to return. My winter running wardrob is a lot smaller than my summer running collection and I am getting tired of wearing the same few things over and over again. Time to breakout the shorts!
