I’m back to the land of the running. The city warmed up immensely and the sun shined throughout the day. I was worried about running in this area. There’s a lot of snow and no one seems to clear their sidewalks. I thought clearing sidewalks in front of your house fell under some bylaw. Maybe the people here are just plain lazy.
I shouldn’t have been so worried. I just ran in the middle of the road until traffic came. It was a nice way to get the lay of the neighbourhood since I haven’t driven around that much. I ran 8k but I need to make a longer route as I am now in training mode for the half-marathon in May.
Tomorrow night, I am going to run straight from my office. It’s downtown and I noticed the sidewalks are clearer.
I felt pretty good. My pace was slower than usual but I wasn’t too concerned. Because afterall, I had been quite sick last week.
A few of us are going to enter the Edmonton addition of the Underwear Affair in June. Money is raised for cancer below the belt. You dress up in wacky costumes. It’s going to be so much fun!
If I don’t get into the New York Marathon, I may train for another marathon in the States, perhaps Seattle but I will see!
