    good Glen Abbey Rec to Oxford, and... 14.4 km

      Thanks, guys. @Cameron - usually 3 or 4 of us, plus Kevin who is coaching. I'm the oldest (by about 16 years!) and the youngest is only 16! Workouts are humbling, to say the least, but they seem to be pushing me more - exactly what I need if I want to drop some time and stay competitive.

      fantastic Cynthia! I am happy to hear this went well. I think you are right and we all could probably get past that mindset and push harder past the comfort zones.

      Having your pajamas be warm, clean and fresh in the dryer for when you get back from a wet windy wild run.

      Surprise breakfast ready when you get home.
