Left the house at dawn in a reletively calm 58*F. Three and a half miles later I was in the local diner enjoying a nice warm bowl of oatmeal and raisins with plenty of fresh hot coffee. Afterwards I must have really been feeling my oats as I struck out along the lake shore in the opposite direction of home.

I finally did arrive back at home around mid morning in 69*F temps with a 16mph wind at my back. Round trip total was 30.36 miles.
