Flying together

Goose Fact #3: Geese fly in a “V” formation. As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. When a flock of geese fly in a “V” formation, the geese can travel nearly twice as far than if each bird flew on its own.

There is no reason to train by yourself; call other runners today and plan to meet them tomorrow! Running seems easier and finished sooner when in company.

Thursday training saw Colin, David, Gary, Geoff B, Joel, Ken, Margaret, Maria, Matthew, Rachelle, Rod and Ruth run in three person relay teams, a set of 8 x ~350 with a half lap jog in between.
