The municipal workers strike is on in Toronto.  Beind a manager in the I&T division, I have been re-deployed to other essential work - cleaning Union Station.  I had my first afternoon shift yesterday.  The group of people I'm with seem to be great, it will make the time fly by.

The only reason I mention it is that my running routine is slightly shifted.  I had been getting out before 6 am on most work mornings, in the cool of the summer mornings.  Now, I'm going to be running either after dropping the girls off at daycare after 9 am or once I get off shift at 11 pm. 

The 9 am run is what I did today.  Hot hot hot is all I can say about it.  Or maybe it should be Humid humid humid?  heheheh  20C when I headed out, and I was baking as I went up Windermere from the Queensway.  Averaged 6:13/km over the 6k, which was a bit shy of what I had been able to do on the flatter Annette/Baby Point route that I had been running the last two Tuesday early mornings.

Time  37:28

Distance 6.02k (3.76mi)
