The Charles Street Hill

It always seems to be John who leads us into these things - extra distance on our training runs, that kind of thing. Today it was the Charles Street hill. And it was kinda warm! Still a big crew turned out this morning, and everyone made it up that hill!

To get there, we took Pandora to Fellowes, then north, then west to the PNE, but took the hill down to the right before looping around to the parking lot near the track, then through the grounds (with the ceremonial stop at the water fountain), up to Renfrew, south on Renfrew to Charles, and then east on Charles, including the overpass. Total distance this morning was 8.9k, but Tom is right: it seemed like 10k, and surely that hill counts as extra distance.

Next week an adventure: meet at Granville Island in front of the Arts Club at 7:30 (it's heating up this week) - shooting for distances between the usual 8-10 and 15 for those who want to keep their distance up. And breakfast on the island afterwards - I know, it's not Tim's but I'm sure we can find something good (think of all those bakeries).
