Ran my longish route

The paths along the Credit River are mostly dry except for the half-dozen usual low-lying wet areas. I couldn’t use my “Ironman” watch. I think the battery is dying as the display is screwy. So I used the small radio with lap timer I used to use before I got my MP3 player / FM tuner device. I’m not sure how the 1:21:34 time compares as I’m still in the process of “developing” this route for my “long” run. It was warm enough for shorts, too.

long Credit River route

The route: my house, path between Folkway and Erin Mills Pkwy, Ploughshare Ct, Erin Mills Pkwy, Credit Valley Road, E on Eglinton Ave W to just past Credit River Bridge, down to path, S along path and then up to Covington Terrace, Credit Pointe Dr, Wellsborough Pl, rejoin path that goes along N side of 403 and back down to Credit River, S along path under Burnhamthorpe Bridge to foot bridge over Credit R. in Erindale Park, path over hill just S of U of T at Erindale, past Sprinkbank Arts Centre, N. along Mississauga Rd to Collegeway, cross street and join Sawmill Valley Trail, N to bridge under Burnhamthorpe then along trail that parallels Burnhamthorpe almost to Erin Mills Pkwy, turn N to Burbank Dr, Walnut Grove to Sawmill Valley Dr, Stonemason Crescent, the home again. Estimated distance is between 10 to 12 km. I really need to get a simple odometer for my bike one day.
