The three girls set out together to run the paths in the Plains of Abraham park of the city. Turned out that connecting 42 kilometres of path was a challenge that included nearly 400 stairs!
While the three girls were running the first ten kilometres together, I found an incredible used book/used record/used anything store! It was gathered inside this amazing church. The stained glass was incredible and the blues music playing loudly throughout the vast chamber made for a great setting. I'm sure that Brenda could easily have spent a few hours inside this place.
After a very hot run, the girls finished the first leg. Brenda carried on herself for the remaining 32! The temperature that day in Quebec City was well above 30 degrees!!
While Brenda continued her run, we three explored the old part of the city. What an incredible place! So much history and beauty. From the Chateau Frontenac to the Notre Dame de Quebec, we took in as much as we could in the few hours we had in the city.
Marathon number five ended in the failing light of the day. Brenda completed an incredible run in the heat of the day! And with no rest for the wicked, we loaded up into Norman and headed out of the city for our next destination: Edmunston, New Brunswick...a mere 300 kilometres. At least I get to drive my kilometres!
We finally made it to our camp, and we lost an hour due to the time change. It was really late (or early, if you like) when we finally put our heads to the pillows for the night.
