I had finally gotten the gumption to request a full hour lunch for running at Bowdoin, and it was granted. The winter chill has definitely settled in but I was determined to have a good run today. I plotted out my course shortly before lunch - a pleasant counter-clockwise run to and from Cole's Tower - and changed into my running gear in what might as well have been a phone booth.
The winter air was actually refreshing as I made my way out of the college area and into rural Brunswick. There was actually very little traffic on the southern leg of the loop which really was a relief because the snow left no shoulder. The loop itself was very flat which made the high-energy run easily sustainable.Looks like I no longer have an excuse (and shouldn't have had any) to run outside on my Bowdoin College days.
