7m Airport hill and woods

Running free and solo today.

Tried to keep slow on the way out and pick it up a bit on the return leg. Beyond the botanical gardens only serious runners were out, all kitted out in good gear and looking the business. Every one returned my "Bonjour" with a nod, a smile, or a chirpy "Salut".

The ice was frozen in the pond at woods. In the shade the grass was rock hard, but in the sun it was ok to run on.

Came down the hill exploring the angle that gave me the highest return of speed for least effort in.

Picked off a few joggers on the way home and I figured the whole escapade took 58 minutes, so quicker than last time and it felt like an easy run and nice to come in under 8 min miles - 7:52 was the ave.
