Friday Green Mtn Lakewood Run

It takes some effort to get me out in the morning, but the weather in my 'hood is reliably awesome. Late in the season you may freeze your hands off, but it's probably going to be clear and sunny.

Then I run downhill trying to get back home and get ready for work. Morning runs tend to produce quicker paces, even taking into account the hills and my stops for pictures.

Distance was 5.48 miles, time 56:06 (moving 52:25), elevation gain/loss 455 feet, avg. pace 10:14 (moving 9:34), and best pace 7:08.
