My daughter ran a 1.5 km cross country run this fall, and I enjoyed walking the route as volunteer. Preparing for that run, my daughter came home with a booklet called the Roadrunner Club, complete with tiny footprint badges that she could earn at intervals. This was such a popular idea that a few weeks ago it was opened up the parents too, and I was excited as a school kid to get my logbook.
Twenty-seven days later, I have earned two badges and run a grand total of forty-two kilometres. I like that number! I averaged 1.5 km per day, and ran ten times with an average run of 4.2 km. Most of that was in my nearby trail in Terra Cotta Park. Two of those runs involved me breaking in a pair of traction devices that attach to my runners. I had them all last winter, but never used them. This has been my first year running in the snow, and it feels great! You just have to remember to take them off before you cross the cleared pavement!
