This past Thursday a high temp record was set in our neck of the woods, reaching 80 degrees Fahrenheit and not yet March. Before it got quite to that temp, Bob, Cooper, and I headed to the northern start of the Thermal Belt Rail Trail, the incredible 13.5 mile trail that has been such a gift for my long runs in preparation for my marathon in Australia at the end of May. I have completed a 16 mile run and an 18 mile run on this lovely trail. Next weekend, I’ll do a 20 miler.
Since I do an out and back when I run, I haven’t reached the northern end/start point on my runs, so it was great to see what it looks like in daylight. We were also pleased to see a number of cyclists and walkers out as well.



but no sign of Gilligan or the crew.
