Full/ultra marathon #45 is now complete. Forecasted rain did not occur; however, it was very windy and 5C (wind chill -2C). Wore a toque and gloves - thank goodness they were in the trunk from winter running!
Greeted by six Therapy Dogs!!! Took a photo with each canine. They visit nursing homes on a weekly basis.
