Report

I decided to double an 8.5 mile RPE tempo ladder with an FKT to get Crow-Hassan on the map. It's one of my favorite places to run. The reserve has great trails and so much beauty, it always serves to remind me why I run.

It was low 20s today, with a light snow layer covering most of the trail. I cooled down for the two and change miles at the end of the tempo and got to really absorb some of the park's winter beauty. 

I contemplated starting the outer loop course at one of the main entrances, but thought the connection point with the Lake Independence Regional Trail was best. I hope to build out longer versions of this system over time.
