The climb begins again! Nine weeks out from #UTHC80 and double long run weekends are back! Beautiful day on the trail, a mix of single track, crushed gravel, and paved pathways with a visit to my ravine for some climbing! Absolutely gorgeous out there! Humidex stayed under 29 (C)! Breezy and blue skies, no smoke!

Spotted this feat of engineering just before turning onto the trail for a very hot zone 2 run. 30C Humidex of 38 (86F, 100.4F) but there was a lovely breeze and I had some shade on the trail. Good to #GetOutside

Perfect spring evening for some hills in zone 2. Warm, still some ice and snow on the smaller trails but the wider ones are almost all clear. I also scouted my hill for tomorrow's climb! So happy to be outside today! Every thing is in bloom!

Spring running! I am in heaven! Tho not shorts yet, it was only 19C!!!!

Glorious trail run with intervals! I have been programming my training plan into my watch and it is so much easier than the last time I did this plan! The snow is gone now except for tree covered areas where there's still deep ice and snow on the trails. A lot of the damage from the ice storm has been cleaned up and is stacked neatly on the side of the paths. Absolutely beautiful day. So many juncos, I saw my friend the great egret for the second time this week, and all of the red winged blackbirds were hanging out! I'm so happy it's warmer!

Yoga practice 800/1000 (eight hundred practices!) Yin, hatha, and a meditation to celebrate! So grateful to be able to experience the shifts and changes that come with daily practice. I'm really enjoying this journey.

Spring running at its best!

I am counting on tulips in about seven weeks and I'm holding onto that hope for dear life!

A slow cat shuffle in zone two doing loops of a nearby trail, longer shuffle on deck for tomorrow! The spring build is here!

A single line of footprints along a snow covered trail cresting a hill. Two bare maples stand against the cloudy grey sky, flanking the right side of the trail, the edge of branches flank the left . Four weeks until Sulphur Springs 50km training block kicks off! Double long runs this weekend, felt amazing to #GetOutside Despite the milder weather this winter, still lots of fresh snow to ensure that I get my knees up! #WinterInOttawa #WinterScenery #LongRunDone #GetOutside #TrailRunning #UltraRunning #WinterRunning #Run #RunChat #LongRun #UltraTraining #Ottawa #OttawaRunners
