Resolution Run 2006

Another year done with! It was a good run, too. I did miss Carla and Peter-Mark, though. They were running as well. Hope they got there.

It was a pretty packed field at the start, but then I guess it always is. I started a little closer to the front this time, but still had lots of people to pass. The first half kilometre was pretty slow with all the traffic. After that, I was able to make great time. I wasn't up to the speeds we were at last year, but it was a good hard run.

The router was the same as in past years. From Eau Claire to 2nd Avenue, to 7th Street, then on to the promenade, and west to Crowchild. Because the path under the 10th Street bridge was underwater, they had us cross back to the south side at 14th. And then it was the riverside path from the C-Train bridge, and over onto Prince's Island, as usual. The snow was decently packed on the island this year - a nice change. Then across the bridge to the promenade, a jog east, at back to the finish at Eau Claire.

Distance: 7.63 km. Time: 41:02 Average speed: 11.2kph. Hmmm...it's supposed to be an 8 km run.

Shoes: Saucony Grid Phoenix (Yellow).

Weather: Clear and -2C.
