Went out tonight with a Running Room group for the RR anniversary 20 minute challenge. It was a pretty nice group - around 15 runners, approximately, and the same amount of walkers. I think they might have been expecting more, but we are experiencing record-breaking temperatures in the GTA at the moment, so it's understandable that people who had signed up might bow out.

Running with the group was kind of cool, but kind of awkward at the same time. I saw a few people I usually see on my route around the lake, and it was nice to say hi to them instead of just waving, but at the same time there seemed to be two basic pace groups - one that was around 15 seconds ahead of me and another around 15 seconds behind me. So despite running with a group, I was still by myself for most of the time - just like usual :o)

PS: time is approximate. Went until I heard someone say "Okay, that's 10 minutes" and then we turned around.
PPS: got a funky hat as a gift for doing the challenge! It's a really comfortable meshy ballcap. Not sure how often I'll wear it, though, because it's a bright neon orange and that isn't really my style :o)
