Tru has had problems with her knee, and hasn't been out for a run for awhile. Last night she decided to give it a go, so we did an easy run out into the country from her place.
We got out onto James McKevitt Road and headed south. We quickly got to the crappy part of the run, which was trying to cross highway 22X without getting killed, but since we had a bit of a late start, we missed rush hour traffic. We continued south along the east side of Spruce Meadows, quiet and deserted now after the North American competition that ended on the weekend.
Eventually we came on a set of mailboxes, and turned west. We found ourselves in a rural subdivision containing some of the biggest houses I've ever seen. All new to me, but Tru knows the area well since they boarded her daughter's horse in the area for years.
After twenty five minutes, we turned around and retraced our steps back to her place. And meanwhile, throughout the run, the sky was dramatically decorated with building thunderheads and potential rain squalls. We didn't get any rain, but we welcomed the cooling air. And after, we relaxed on Tru's deck with beer and her most excellent barbequed burgers.
Today's run:
Distance: 8.39 km. Time: 50:54. Average speed: 9.9 kph.
Weather: Mostly cloudy and 20C.
