Icebreaker 10 KM
The Icebreaker 10 Km was held a couple of weeks ago on a great spring day. the air temp was fine and there was limited ice on the route. When we lined up to start the race I was lucky to see many familiar faces. One was my old running partner Vince. I could remember running this race with him years ago and I was unable to match his pace, but I learned a lot about pacing from that day. Today he told me he was injured this year and was hoping to just run a 38. I was hoping to stick with him today. Luke was also beside me, Madi and Rose were all in sight.
For me I decided to run strong for as long as I could. this ended up being a 38:30 which I was very pleased with as I have not cracked 39 for some time. Following my finish was Vince and then....
Madi came home in 41:10 after taking a tumble on the ice at the mile marker (ouch)
It was great to see Corey again and he finished strong in 41:44
Kelly showed that she is getting ready for Wildflower with a 44:59
Mariano decided to start training for Wildflower :) with a 49:13
Rose raced well and finished in 52:37
Vivian was extremely grateful to be able to run and cross the finish line!
What a great day to run! We all had a wonderful race and enjoyed the morning!

St Pats results
Well St Pats has come and gone. The weather was much better than last year. Although my fingers were still quite cold during the 1st lap. :)
There was quite a large crowd on hand for the race. We arrived in lots of time to warmup. Much to the surprise of Ian. He expected me to arrive 5 - 10 sec before the start. I would not dissapoint. After the warmup I casually made my way to the bathroom for a quick pitstop. It was fun making my way through the crowd. They were all headed to the starting line. En route I ran into Blaire and Bob and we were chatting about the race and after the bathroom break we casually walked to the starting line where people kept saying get off the road the race is about to begin. Ooops! once again I was too causaul. :) I found Ian, and the Robs at the starting line and took my spot. When the gun went off the really fast people sprinted off. I went out at a bit more controlled pace very cautious not to slip on the ice round the 1st corner. .....
To keep this short...Ian was way ahead...I ran side by side with the Robs and then at 4 Km dropped them. At 5 Km caught Ian and unfortunately he was not feeling the best and he dropped back a bit. After losing my carrot (Ian) my pace slowed a bit and I was focused on my upcoming marathon, which is 4x longer. I relaxed my breathing and pace and knew that I would break 40 mins. Which is always good. After the finish the rest of the crew quickly passed the line as well. This was just the 1st race of the year and we were all just testing ourselves. I think we all passed. Here are the results below. For full results check out the following link: http://calgaryroadrunners.com/result.php?item=167

St Pats this weekend!
I think everyone in Calgary is ready for a little bit of warm weather. Sunday is St Pats 10 Km run. There will be 10 of us taking part in the run. Yes I am running too! :)
The forecast is for +4 degrees but it is changing every day. As long as it is not -20 something, I will be happy.
This will be a great test to see our current fitness.
See you at the starting line!
