Post Christmas Carol Run

Last night the gang went for dinner and then to see Theatre Calgary's performance of A Christmas Carol. Very cool. Afterwards, Mike and I agreed to meet up again for a run at the south end of the Jaipur Bridge, so named as stated by the plaque afixed to the bridge, that I haven't read. I think this web site explains the significance of it. And here's a picture.

Mike showed up right at noon, with Jason, a co-worker, who is just getting into running. We started off slow on the short zoo loop. We had a nice easy run, more social than exercize, but that's the point. The day was not a cool as it looked, so we warmed up quickly.

At the bottom of the new ramp up to the foot bridge to Prince's Island, I went that-away, while Mike and Jason continued on to cross at the C-Train bridge, which is close to their work.

Distance: 8.63 km. Time: 49:30 Average speed: 10.5 kph.

Shoes: Saucony Grid Phoenix (Yellow).

Weather: Cloudy and -1C, which is quite a drop from the 5C an hour before. Those temperatures are from the airport, though, which is several kilometres to the northeast.
