Another Where in the World Wednesday post!
I arrived in Ottawa
the other evening after a very long work day, but I still wanted to go for a short run. Overnighting in Ottawa, I am
fortunate to stay right in the downtown area, which is very close to the canal,
a perfect place to run and bike.
Ottawa is a very fit city. You will always see
someone along the canal working out, whether it's in the 70s or in the 40s.
Those Canadians are used to the cold weather!
In the winter the canal freezes over and you can even ice skate on it.
Well it was the perfect day for a run while I was there, In the low 70s. I started
out knowing that I only wanted to do a short run since it's been a long day
and the next day will be just as long. I don't know if it's a mental thing or
not, but I had my GPS watch on, and I don't feel I work out as hard when it
takes forever to find the location. I don't know if it was because I was in
Canada that it made my GPS watch enabled or what the problem was but it would
not find the location, so I had to just go by my watch time. I made sure I did 30 minutes, which for me
would have been a little over three miles. During my run I passed other runners
and bikers along with people walking their dogs or just relaxing reading a
book and even a yoga class.
Here are a few more pics I took along my run.
WOW, gorgeous!
