Day 3 consisted of the first of (what will be) many 2-mile runs.
The 2-mile course again takes us east down Wisconsin Avenue, but only as far as Milwaukee Street. Once there, we turn north to Wells and head west, take a very short detour north on Plankinton and almost immediately south on 2nd and back to Wells (just to get to the 2-mile mark). From Wells, a left turn on 9th and a quick left turn back to Wisconsin Avenue brings us home.

As mentioned yesterday, the weather was a bit of an issue. Today was a bit colder, since I started my run around 5:30, and there was still some flurries coming down as I left. I did remember to wear gloves, so that was golden. The weather didn't play a part until very late (the last 1/4-mile, maybe), when I had a little trouble taking very deep breaths. All in all, the weather wasn't much of a concern today.
All was well, though, and I finished the 2.01 run in ~18:10.
{For the record, time are rounded down to the nearest :05, since I do have to take occasional brief stops to avoid being run over}
{All mileage is as close as MapMyRun can estimate it}
For the second day in a row, I played the role of tour guide after my run. As I was cooling down at 8th and Wisconsin, a man approached as asked where he could find the Wisconsin Club. I pointed one block northwest, and he went on his way.
I also stopped to chat with former O'D Hall Minister John Cary as he passed on Wisconsin.
Day 3 picked up where Day 2 left off, and things are off to a strong start. Tomorrow, we revisit the 3-mile run.
