Well, what a wonderful week of weather. You have to wonder how nature is managing the earth. Growing into splendour then allowing the very moisture that helps all grow knock it back to the ground. While the trees have taken a hard hit in Calgary, Nature will surely take it's course and regenerate the plants and trees.
Our trotting friend and local 'pink chick' Dawn lost many trees in her front yard. Luckily she had a group of firemen come to her door and save the day. Hmm, did the snow cause this need or...

The weather wasn't too much of a damper on activity. Saturday we had a great trail trot with the gang from Strides. Jeannette led us through some fun little trails allowing the beginner and expert trail trotter to experience a great morning. I did show her a short cut or two which are the important secrets of a good trail leader.

Tuesday was another trail group with Strides, this time led by our long-time partner Alan. We didn't run too much but we did get some great coaching. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the lessons and will be out next week. I certainly will be!

So, I have been asked to move the trot back to the 9 am hour. Yep, the clock will be easier to hear with the extra hour of rest. I just hope I don't read too much of the paper Saturday and not have a good Sunday spread!

Well, if we are going to trot at 9 am and we have extra time to drive, let's run from Joy and John's as the bald butt prairie of east Fish Creek shouldn't have too many blockages from fallen trees. See you at the Mallard Point parking lot for a 9 am departure. Christine is running 30+ km, I would like to do 15-20, Joy is doing 12-14, and I am sure other distances will be covered. See you soon.
