Taking Advantage of the Weather

I've been running on the treadmill all weekend- nothing major, starting myself off with daily 1600's like I used to run when I ran track- but the weather as so nice today that I thought I'd run back from class. I was carrying a synchsack that might adequately simulate the weight of a twenty-miler.

I started at Anthony-Seeger and ran all the way to Sunchase, cutting through Duke Dog Tunnel, running up the north side of Convo, along University, and finally through the Arboretum.  If you aren't familiar with the JMU/Harrisonburg area, it's a little over two miles. The run utilizes JMU's diverse turfs to adequately simulates a mountainous terrain.
