Canoeing 2:19:55 6.98 mi (20:03 / mi) +2m 20:02 / mi
ahr:86 max:118 shoes: Pirate Canoe
Mostly leisurely paddle up the Huron from Riverbend to the dam.
Those familiar with going upstream to the dam will note that it is not leisurely in the final approach to the dam, and it is all you can do to paddle against the current. If racing, I think it's faster to take out a few hundred yards downstream, and try to portage on the very small ridge.
Rick's son Dale ran a SUP up and down. In jeans and steel toe boots. No troubles! Also, no ear covering. Kids and their heat generation.
Water was down a full foot from our last outing!
We saw several others taking advantage of the nice conditions - a couple running down and up, a MCRA solo guy running up, and ~four short kayaks headed down from the fishing spot.

It's a good thing SMOC's non profit, as my winter event was very non profitable! I've come close to break even before, but this one set new standards for red ink. All the more incentive to draw out more folks!
11 PM
Running 55:39 5.29 mi (10:31 / mi) +17m 10:25 / mi
ahr:141 max:179 shoes: Brooks Ghost 5s
Snuck this in under the 17th. Felt colder than I would guess from the numbers.
Totally blew my 2014 bike target, but if I can average 3 miles per day until year's end, I can crack 1000 on my feet, woo woo.

Oakland University looks like a sprint candidate. Some buildings, some woods (with a creek!) and the perimeter of the campus is over six miles.

I was trolling Big Lots, stumbled onto a 20 pack of disco ball ornaments for $6, so those will appear in a woods near you for night o training.
I was working on talking myself into or out of the Navigator Cup, then I winged the map on over here:

and that looked like craziness that would be fun to run around. (Talladega National Forest).
