We're visiting Ottawa for the holidays, and managed to get out for my final long run of this training sched. Overcast to start the morning, but windy and rainy for the last four clicks. Side streets were skating rinks, so I had to stay on the main roads. Traffic was pretty light on Sunday morning. Good run, but I'm not sure if I'll be out Tuesday. Only brought one set of running clothes, and the are still nasty from the run. No easy access to a washer/dryer while we are away.

Ccccccoooold this evening, but it put me through the fastest tempo run of the past few months.

Avg pace was 5:08 per km! Awesome.

Must have been the new undergarments I picked up today. New Goretex socks (yes!), new wind shorts, new compression jersey.

See what happens without vacation access to washer & dryer! Especially after a the bitter drenching I took on Sunday morning.

Beautiful, sunny, COLD Ottawa morning. -25C windchill.

Everything felt calm on the south and east legs of my run.

But turning back toward the North and West gave the cheeks and nose a rosy sheen.

Too bad I left my balaclava back in Toronto! :(

Moved my long run up one day, to Saturday this week.

Cold again this afternoon, but somehow a bit more bearable with the sun out. Once the sun went down around 4:30 pm, it seemed much less inviting out there.

Ran all the way across Ottawa, through the downtown, then lower town and out through New Edinborough to CFB Rockliffe.

Last (really last!) long run of this schedule. Race in two weekends. Woo Hooo!
