Distance: 12.4 Miles
Time: 1:45:00
YTD: 172.55 Miles
Location: Marathon Clinic 19K - Kensington RR to Bowness - return.

Another 8:30 AM Sunday run with the Marathon Clinic. The 3:30 group is out in force with 13 Runners. The route is nice and flat and always has a headwind on the way out. This means a good negative split as there is a nice tailwind on the way back. Today it was really nice because the wind was behind us and we had the warm sun on our faces. We also managed to pick up the strides for the last few K and finish fairly strongly. It is nice running with such a great group of guys that run together so well and seem to enjoy the extra effort for the last few K.

The starting temp was -10 and was a little overcast, it almost looked like we were going to get a some snow on the run. Finishing temp was around -3 (according to the CBC building). It must be spring as there was a remarkable increase in the number of people using the path for both running and walking. I guess it will get a little more congested as spring gets closer.

Plod On.
