Man, did it ever feel good out there this morning! I have missed getting out, having been ill for the past couple of weeks. The cough was a little annoying at times, but mostly it stayed away.
Lots of big puddles on the paths, especially around the Crowchild bridge. There were places where I had a choice between going hand over hand along the guardrail to keep from slipping in the water, or balancing on a ridge of ice that used to be a ridge of snow pushed up along side the path by a plow. And of course, slide one way into the puddle, or slide the other way down the bank and into the river, or at least a snow bank on top of the ice on the river. But I got around those okay, and stayed upright. I even kept my feet dry.
A great beautiful run, and gorgeous chinook weather. The sky was clear to the horizon, too, so the western view was stupendous. And a whole lot of people out enjoying it.
Today's run:
Distance: 16.05 km. Time: 1:24:41. Average speed: 11.4 kph.
Rest distance: 901.3m. Rest time: 9:00.
Total distance: 16.95 km. Total time: 1:33:41.
Shoes: Saucony Grid Phoenix (Yellow) A.
Weather: Cloudy and 6C to start, warming up to 8C. A little bit of a breeze, and the chinook arch kept the western sky clear.
I'll find out if I'm in the New York City Marathon in about 71 days.
The New York City Marathon is in 244 days.
The Calgary Marathon is in 125 days.
