Tabatta Sprint, Run

Late afternoon

A short run outside in the freezing cold just in time to catch the last few minutes of sunlight. I was intending on some Tabatta intervals down on the SRT, but was disappointed to see that it hasn't been plowed yet. Usually someone takes care of this in the couple of days following a big storm. The path is a heavily traveled route by bikers, runners, and commuters. The first few were done on packed snow, and the rest done on Washington Ave, which runs parallel to the path.

Covered about 0.67 miles. Walking only during the rest period.

Passed the new Whitemarsh Training Center, a boathouse in Conshohocken that caters to both novices and elites alike. Rowing is becoming a more popular sport for both competitive athletes and exercise enthusiasts alike. The fee is yearly, but they claim to offer various activities during the winter months when it's too cold to be on the river. Saint Joe's actually spent a year on the upper Schuylkill while our new boathouse was being built. There's not many landmarks throughout the course, but tons riverside homes and plenty of wooded areas. Depends on your tastes I guess. Brigid and I have been considering joining this club, but we'll see what happens.

About 4.6 miles in 42 minutes.
