The DTC's first ever Saturday Long Run (SLR) was scheduled to run 7 miles at 7AM and so it was no surprise that the group run had a good turnout when SEVEN runners showed up! The pace was relaxed and the group of runners stayed together for the entire run.
The course took runners along Road 13, across the airport road and into Basundhara. From the Apollo Hospital road, runners turned left and headed for the convention center. After turning right at the convention center and weaving their way towards the large playground that is tucked away back in a corner, runners gingerly stepped (not ran!) across the famous 'bamboo bridge'. The course was an out and back and as the bridge is about 3 miles out, runners only ran for a few minutes past that point to get the 3.5 distance one-way.
Runners varied in age and ability yet the consensus was that the time FLEW by and one runner even remarked "I could have run for two more hours!" Well, that is the beauty of group runs, folks! It can be SO much easier than slogging away the miles alone or on a treadmill for that matter!
Please join the group as they set out this week for an 8 mile run. Course yet to be determined. Post here if you have suggestions for that distance.
Happy running and please do join us!
DTC :)
