Yesterday evening, I celebrated the first appearance of temperatures over 32 of the year by running to choir practice at church. I already knew that the trip (door to door, taking parking into account) was faster by bike than by car. Turns out it's even faster running (going the wrong way on a one-way street cut out a chunk of distance)! We're not talking a big difference-- about 8 minutes running, 8-10 by bike (depending on weather and traffic) and 12-15 by car (depending on traffic and parking availibility).

This morning, it was outside again, about 5 slow miles. The snow that had melted a bit yesterday was frozen solid, and footing was treacherous. But the weekend looks to be warm and dry-- hallelujah! and it's 42 balmy degrees right now!
