Day 16, May 22 2011 Confederation Bridge NB to Near Shediac 60km
22 May
Just the two of us.
Serge left us this morning for the drive back to Quebec City leaving Mike and I to fend for ourselves with the RV. After breakfast I took a quick spin around the parking lot, just to see what it was like as I had yet to drive our Mobile Command Centre.
We took some pictures at Confederation Bridge and I started out running. It was a cool morning, the road was straight, slightly downhill, and my pace was quicker than it had been in a while.
I had decided to change the distances a little to make the afternoon run easier. So I ran 23km during the first run, 22km for the second run, and then only had 15km left at the end of the day, which was great.
60km took me to the far end of a little bridge near Shediac where I seriously contemplated jumping in the nearby ocean. 10 mins later I had finished stretching and we were headed to Aulac, a small region outside of Sackville NB, to see Duncan and Heather Dixon, friends Mike and I used to work with at Camp Elphinstone near Gibsons BC.
It was a fun night consisting of BBQ T-Bone steak, old stories, a little too much beer, and a place to do laundry, shower and a real bed to sleep in. Before long it was midnight, which these days is waaaaaaaay past my bedtime.
I hope I don’t pay for it tomorrow.
