We’ve got 20 weeks to go before the half marathon. I ran my four-mile long run today after a week of travelling and no running. I thought I’d be going super slow today but managed to finish with a 10:15 pace including stops at the street lights. Here’s the route I took today. I intended to do an “out and back” but surprisingly the ducks had enough water to swim around in the river so I kept going.

Spring has definitely arrived because the sun was pretty strong towards the end of my run. Pretty soon I’ll be seeing little ducklings swirling around in the river. Can’t wait! Let’s just hope there’s a little more rain in our future. The riverbed was looking pretty dry.

I took the photo on the left last spring. These ducklings were looking more like teenagers.
