I slept in until seven but headed out on my own. I decided to make my way to the Minneapolis Diagonal Trail, a little stretch along the Grand Rounds trail. I hadn't been on the trail until this morning, and it turned out to be really nice. I am approximating the mileage because I haven't been on the route before, but I was about 27:45 out and the same back, for a total of 55:30. I think I may have gone a bit further than 5.5, but I don't think I went 6. It's hard to know.

The weather was a bit cool for my t-shirt only, but after a few minutes it was comfortable. 

[Update: We drove to a store in the evening and I had a chance to drive the route and measure the distance. It was around 3.1 in one direction. I did feel pretty good this morning so maybe my perception wasn't off for once.]
