It was a great group today! Everyone was around the same pace, which made it easy to stick together and flip-flop around positions and running buddies.
Unfortunately, my co-leader (who knew the route) couldn't run as she was sick. Fortunately for me, at least half of my group members were familiar with the route and able to lead me around. Plus, I had the written directions to follow.
We did a few adjustments to the route because it was ICY!!! Not everywhere, but there were some sections of partially-melted deep ice. This meant as you walked carefully over the slick surface, you were liable to break through and land in ankle-deep water! Ick. Not fun. As such, we took a few more walk breaks than originally planned.
The bonus of having a group running the same pace was that when we made those adjustments to the route, we didn't leave anybody behind. And despite the route changes, we did make it back in the rough approximation of 14k, with a few hundred metres extra for kicks.
I am really, really looking forward to running when the sidewalks are 100% ice free!
