A nice easy run is a good introduction to any new city and this was no different.\u00c2\u00a0 After spending too many hours in a Penske moving truck, towing a car with my wife driving behind me, it was nice to stretch my legs out Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
We arrived on Saturday evening and were able to move our stuff into our new apartment.\u00c2\u00a0 We knew coming up that we would be living in an extended stay hotel for a few weeks while the landlords finished doing some remodeling, but we really liked the location and they made it financially worth the wait.\u00c2\u00a0 So we’ll be staying in the suburbs until everything is ready to go!<\/p>\n
We are spending today relaxing and lounging around the hotel, we’ll hang out with our friends and attend an evening Church service with them.<\/p>\n
Running<\/strong><\/p>\n It was a little chaotic trying to pack everything that we’d need for 3 weeks and at the end we were just throwing stuff into bags and boxes, so I had a little trouble finding some of my accessories for this morning.\u00c2\u00a0 When I looked at the temp it was a mild 35, so that is pretty nice for running.\u00c2\u00a0 Last week temps here were below freezing with the wind chill.<\/p>\n I had trouble finding my “warm pants,” you know, the thin ones! It turned out ok and I may have been a little underdressed upstairs (I was warming a tech shirt with a t-shirt over it).\u00c2\u00a0 The slight wind was a little biting, I also couldn’t find my hat, but my ears didn’t mind too much.\u00c2\u00a0 I scoped out the run on Google maps to get an idea of the neighborhood and then relied on my Garmin (I haven’t written about it yet, but soon will) to\u00c2\u00a0 actually measure the course.<\/p>\n It turned out that it was fairly hilly, so that was a little surprising. I did a nice easy pace and finished the 3.78 miles in 30:07 which is an 8:04 average.\u00c2\u00a0 I haven’t imported the workout so I’m not sure of the elevation gains and losses, but the hills weren’t little molehills!<\/p>\n Snow<\/strong><\/p>\n There is lots of snow and slush! The roads are pretty much clear but the sidewalks haven’t been plowed to the cement.\u00c2\u00a0 I tried to run on one and changed my mind since there wasn’t lots of traffic and the roads were clear! It seems like the primary and secondary roads have been plowed to the surface while other roads and a lot of parking lots have only been plowed to make it passable.<\/p>\n These are just a few of my first impressions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A nice easy run is a good introduction to any new city and this was no different.\u00c2\u00a0 After spending too many hours in a Penske moving truck, towing a car with my wife driving behind me, it was nice to stretch my legs out Sunday morning.
