I pulled out the topographic map I bought and checked some distances. Near as I can figure my regular route wasn’t quite 10km as the crow flies. I remedied that today and added some extra distance. It took me an hour to run the route which isn’t all that great for a 10K run; however, my excuse is spring. I would guess that at least 60% of the route is on grass or park paths which are quite squishy and puddly at the moment. There is the as the crow flies aspect, too: the map shows my route varies over a vertical distance of 62m or 203ft 5in. Most of this is spread out over the route except for a couple spots getting in and out of the Credit River valley.

As I am home alone I have had a chance to log some 324 receipts to account for my wife’s music teaching business. This means that I’m almost finishing the completion of our 2003 tax returns. Yee haw! Let the weather get warm and the following weekends' weather be excellent!
