Up 1200 E, thru N. Logan and back on 1600E. Light to moderate snow, a bit wet and started to ice up on way back but pleasant and good air quality. Mondo hill on 3400N - remembered that I should have been in a seminar - playing hooky felt good though! 85.5 mins - time not great but trying to lay in a base. Enjoyable run.

Don Quixote's horse- aha- easy with google!

Yeah...rocin means old nag so maybe it's not an auspicious screen name but the idea in Don Quixote is that the horse morphs into something sleeker - which is my goal!
