Just an hour before kickoff of what would later turn out to be one of the most satisfying Super Bowls ever, I took a stroll on Anderson Township’s 5 Mile Trail. 

I don’t often do Sunday runs, but given the pleasant weather today (30 degrees, no wind) and the impending snow threat for Tuesday and Wednesday, I figured today was my pick-day for at least the next few. 

The 5 Mile Trail parallels and then extends beyond the end of 5 Mile Road – hence its name. In truth, the Trail is only 4 miles long, but the hills (between 100 and 200 ft in elevation) add significantly to the challenge.  I hadn’t run the nicely-paved Trail since last summer, and then I could not run the length of the Trail back and forth without pulling up for a walk. Now I can. Today I beat the Trail.  4 miles in under 36 minutes, non-stop. Another small victory.
