21.1 K long run today


Wow - what a week. Drive home on Wednesday took 2.5 hours as we got our first snow fall. Buffalo got the worst with snow galore - schools closed. Now they face melting and floods. Yesterday was 9C in Toronto so whatever snow remained melted. Thus, good day to run on the Martin Goodman Trail. Good number of runners on the trail today. Below are scenic photos I took. One of the photos is a long-haired chow!

Figured out how to configure my new Garmin Forerunner for intervals. All is now good. 

YTD = 1495.0 K
