Interesting running conditions this morning. I was on the road by 6, and it was 1 degree C and foggy. There was a little dusting of snow, and everything was wet from last nights rain. I started off on the roads heading north. As I came around the first corner I saw that the sun was just up and was an amazing shade of orange. It was really spectacular, it actually made me (almost) happy to be outside rather than comfortably sleeping.
I headed west on the trans-Canada trail, and went a couple of km farther than I have before. This part was great, the trail goes through a swamp, with a pond that had about a dozen Canadian Geese in it. There was steam rising off the water, and it was totally calm with the trees & geese reflected in the water. Let the record show that this was very close to as nice as being in bed would have been.
The total distance was 12 km, including 5 km at a 5:18/km tempo pace. The total run took me 1:11.
Final note: Another of those pesky street sweepers passed me right near the end, I really think they might be after me.

Okay this was too good to not post - I went to stock up on beans today and the whole city is sold out - there was still however plenty of gu on the shelf :-) So the city is with me - Beans Good - Gu Gross.
The only advantage I can see to sportsbeans is that you can throw them at streetsweepers...
