March Thaw - 12 miles (820 total)

12.00 miles (Garmin link)
1:38:33
8:13 pace

Sun was out and a bit warmer Thursday, so took a longer run after three days off. Have found that if I start from right outside the John Morgan Building and hit both 38th Street and Market Street before descending to the path at Chestnut Street, I usually hit the following landmarks at almost exactly these points:

2.00 - Beginning of Schuylkill rec path (backtrack from Chestnut)
3.00 - Circle in path at detour to West River Drive
3.50 - "Start" mark in front of Boathouse Row
6.00 - Strawberry Mansion Bridge

Beautiful weather - low 40s, and it will get warmer through the weekend - up to 67 on Sunday!

Took the readings above from my Forerunner. Had some trouble uploading the data to Motionbased. It had me running from here directly across the Atlantic to the Russian/Mongolian border and arriving in May, 2027 (an extremely slow pace, as it turns out.)

UPDATE: Managed to upload the data and provide a link via Garmin Connect.
