Uncovering The Road

What a thrill folks, this week I can actually see pavement! No predictions on whether or not it will last, but I am going to use it as much as possible while I can! I have enjoyed snowshoeing this winter.....I am fortunate to have awesome trails right out my back door and have utilized them whenever possible - an effective way to keep the cardio up and not worry about slipping on the ice or running into the snowplow! I even invested in a headlight so I can go out at night....what a trip being out there 'on my own' under the stars!

Back to road running this week though....with the Ottawa Race Weekend coming up quickly, my training is about to begin full swing.....one week behind I'll admit! Lots of time though, and the fees increase this weekend (Feb. 15) so everyone interested in the 5, 10 kms (Saturday events) and 1/2, full marathon (Sunday) events, should sign up now! This event is a great way to begin an active summer!

See http://www.runottawa.ca/ for more details.

Feel free to email me should you want more motivation than the sun and tulips our capital has to offer or check back for training programs!

Happy spring everyone!
