What a glorious Canada Day Weekend - it may be cool temperature wise but that makes it a great couple of days to train.

First day of the inaugural Half and Full marathon clinic at the Rosedale Running Room - I am very fortunate to have another great group. Previously, in this store the largest walking group was 3 people - I had 18 registered and waiting to go yesterday with more coming next week as a number of people were away for the long weekend. We did 13km yesterday with the Marathon group -a double loop with the Half marathoners doing 6.5kms - everyone did an awesome job - quick learners and all finished upright and smiling - all with personal bests - they had never done distances like this before the clinic.

Today was a 13 km club walk with my Oakville clinic folks - they, too, are doing just awesome - they have reduced their per km pace by 45secs per km over the last 3 weeks --- amazing performances.

Two weeks till the next Half Marathon and another two weeks till the Whitby Half after that - the beginning of a full summer and fall race schedule.

Happy July 4th weekend to my friends in the USA - Steve, Tammy - have a happy one - Steve - get healthy and stay healthy!!!!!
