~14 miles @ ~14.1 min/mi

At 6:00am Jennifer Weiland and I start at the little cemetery near the corner of Clopper Rd and Game Preserve Rd, the same location as on 24 Nov 2007 when Caren Jew and I did an early morning run along the Seneca Creek Greenway Trail. Today the temperature is in the upper teens. We tread carefully on the frozen ground as we proceed downstream to Black Rock Mill. Pairs of mallard ducks paddle along the stream in an open patch of water. When we get back to the car the icicles on my mustache and beard begin to melt in the sun. Jennifer falls three times en route, at miles 5, 8, and 11. She stumbles once more going up her front steps on the way into her home. "Just call me Grace!" she laughs.
