Club run from Nokomis down creek and part way around Harriet. Ran mostly with Mike... both he and Eric fell on the ice-covered path. Our pace varied with the slickness of the path, with a fast finish on the salted road.
6AM run with Bulent and Corey on Xmas Eve along the river.
Finally ocurred to me why my legs have been feeling tight the last couple weeks... I think I need to visit my girlfriend, the PT. (I just call her that to irritate my wife, and because she makes me feel so much better.) Tightness actually morphed into a sharp pain in my lower back -- same as last spring when my hip was out of adjustment.
Ran Calhoun, Harriet and Isles with Mobiz and Pete. Nice evening with snow piled up on the tree branches. Trails plowed reasonably well, though that didn't matter when we veered off the plowed route approaching our finish.
BTW, Google shows the Isles extension, via Calhoun Pkwy and the winter path, to add 3.3 miles.
