  1. Wednesday 11 km ✅ Foggy run. Walked the first 3-ish km then switched over to running - still trying to shake this injury off. I'm two weeks from 500 days, and I think once I hit that target, I'm taking a break to try and rest. Maybe I'll start taking my bike out for a spin then. For context, since Jan 2020, I've run 1100 days of the 1183 (including 363 halfs, 1 marathon, and 7 ultras). #FeelingBroken

  2. Monday 22 km ✅ Figured it was worth a shot at a longer run to see. Generally a good run, lots of folks out getting steps in, with just enough cold rain to be annoying. I think I probably need to take it frustratingly easier for a bit longer.

  3. Monday 11 km ✅ Was supposed to be a half, but the strange pain in my hip got a bit worse as I went along, so I decided to shorten things up. I may dramatically shorten my runs this week. We'll see how this feels tomorrow morning.

  4. Sunday 10 km ✅ City is clearing snow from our neighbourhood, run was o-k-a-y, my hips are a bit sore (I did kinda skip stretching), cool enough (-22°C windchill) to get that fun-looking ice-beard look. 😜

  5. Thursday 17 km ✅ Bit crunched for time today, so I trimmed it down a bit. Pretty decent run, all told. Even got groceries done!

    #Running #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #WinterRunning

  6. Wednesday 17 km ✅ Had to (sigh) put on pants due to the -18°C windchill, but it was honestly, a good run. When I started out I decided I was going to aim for 15km, and when I finished, I realized I probably could have done the full 21. 🤷

  7. Monday 22 km ✅ Wide mix of conditions from cleared paths, slushy paths, heavy snow paths, and variations in-between. Pretty nice morning for it too.

  8. Friday 24 km ✅ Everything looks beautiful when it's covered in snow. I really feel runs like this in my hips - sloshing through all the snow is *tough*.

  9. Wednesday 16 km ✅ Great to be back on #TeamShorts, even if the conditions were… tough to say the least. Got my steps in, onward with the day.

    #Running #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #WinterRunning

  10. Saturday 11 km ✅ Not too bad of a run even if the route was pretty messy. I'm not a fan of being in direct sunlight, but in this case, the sun helped with the -21°C windchill somewhat. At least everything looks beautiful covered in snow.

    Now, if the city could clear the sidewalks as efficiently as they clear the streets, it would be so welcomed for the sections of my runs that are along streets (which end up *on the streets).

  11. Friday 22 km ✅ Hit 200km for January on today's slog of a run. Huge dump of snow meant everything was a struggle, even if I love running in snow. At least the -10°C windchill meant I was back on #TeamShorts, even though I also ended up on #TeamBeardIcicle. 😜

  12. Wednesday 22 km ✅ Me this morning: Hmm. -23°C windchill. I should try to avoid wind.
    Me, once outside: picks route with eighteen bridge crossings.

    Good run, ankle's still not happy, and the irony of icing my ankle after being out in the cold is not lost on me.

    #Running #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #WinterRunning #21km #HalfMarathon

  13. Tuesday 12 km ✅ Ankle's still feels a bit weird, windchill was around -16°C which meant pants, but a beautiful morning for a run. Popped over to Hurdman to see if the two LRT trains were in place (they were) and the overhead catenary wire was repaired. Fresh fallen snow made the uncleared portions of the route easier.

  14. Monday 22 km ✅ Windchill of -9°C meant I was back on #TeamShorts, which made me happy. Good run, and I got to poke around the Chaudieres Falls area now that construction work changed a bit so I had a clearer view of where I could go. I did something to my left ankle around KM 16 or so, probably crossing the uneven snow/ice boundary. I'll nurse it and see how it goes. Mondays!

  15. Friday 22 km ✅ Real slog of a run, powdery snow on top of ice in many places, plus seriously distracted by the LRT stuff between Lees and Hurdman (lots of start/stop/walk/looking). Otherwise, the temperature (-6°C) was great and I enjoyed myself (I do seem to enjoy the slogs, truth be told).

    #Running #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #WinterRunning #TeamShorts #21km #HalfMarathon

  16. Tuesday 11 km ✅ Good run, even if most of the route is covered with ice and/or snow with an ice crust. Light -4°C windchill. Starting to see some the "regulars" back out now that the holidays are over.

  17. Monday 24 km ✅ Strava crashed 3km in, fortunately my watch kept track. I decided to tack on a few extra KMs to make sure I hit the half-marathon distance. Tough run, probably due to all the junk I ate yesterday. Fortunately, the amount of available junk is rapidly dwindling. My Apple Watch (S5) gave me an award for the half. Curious to find out if that's a one-off or an each-time thing. 😛

  18. Sunday 11 km ✅ Happy 2023, everyone! Bagged my first 10k of the year, starting off with NewShoeDay (Merrell Men's Moab 2 Vent Hiking Shoe), reporting a fire to emergency services (first fire truck arrived within three minutes), and spotting a beautiful holiday decoration that looks like something from the 2018 movie Annihilation on my revised route.

    #Running #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #WinterRunning #TeamShorts #10km

  19. Friday 27 km ✅ Bit of everything, soft snow, ice, slush, puddles, with some drizzle that threatened to turn to rain. Managed fifteen bridge crossings. At least by adding descriptions to the maps I'm learning all the bridge names! 😛

    #Running #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #WinterRunning #TeamShorts #HalfMarathon

  20. Thursday 10 km ✅ Another tough, messy run. And don't get me started about off-leash dogs with owners who are unable to control said dogs. <sigh> Weather was perfect with a -7°C windchill. Tomorrow's going to be nuts - and it's supposed to be long run day.

    #Running #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #WinterRunning #TeamShorts #10km

  21. Wednesday 12 km ✅ Today was tough; nearly the entire route was uncleared and/or covered in 8-10cm of fresh, powdery snow. Fun to splash through, and impossible to build up any speed. Very pretty run today, and back in shorts!

    #Running #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #WinterRunning #TeamShorts #10km

  22. Tuesday 10 km ✅ Bit of a slog today, I regretted not #TeamShorts'ing today even though the windchill to start was around -16°C. Even though the Rideau River hasn't frozen over yet, it feels like winter has finally arrived… except tomorrow it should be 0°C, and climbing higher by week's end. <shrugs>

  23. Monday 23 km ✅ Went for my first distance run with someone else; Jane (who I met at the Summer Institute of Film & Television nearly twenty years ago), joined me for 10km of today's run. We were treated to lots of dogs, a large bird (she says possibly a Merlin or a Copper's Hawk), and lovely large fluffy snow. Fun time and great to catch up with an old friend.

  24. Saturday 11 km ✅ Another tough run with snow shovelling as a warm-up; healthy chunks of my "normal" 10k route was covered in a layer of snow, ice, and more snow, so I got a bit creative. The 48km/hr wind gusts didn't help much either. Got my steps for the day in, going to focus on my hot chocolate now. 😛

    #Running #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #WinterRunning #10km

  25. Friday 10 km ✅ Quite possibly the most challenging run of the year. Started off by shovelling wet snow for over half an hour, then off into the 50 km/hr winds with gusts to 75, w/ heavy, wet snow, and then it started raining. Exhausted.

    On the positive side, with this run, I hit my target for the year: 5,000 KMs!

  26. Thursday 22 km ✅ Figured I'd sneak in a long run to avoid long-running in the mess that should be arriving Friday. Good run, lots to see all over the place, and hit my 300 km in December.

    The experience in the shower afterwards was funny when the ice in my beard melted out and landed on me.

  27. Wednesday 10 km ✅ A really tough run today as I'm recovering from a spot of food poisoning yesterday. Welcomed the shortest day of the year (and winter solstice) by getting my steps in.

    #Running #RunOttawa #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #WinterRunning #TeamShorts #10km

  28. Tuesday 10 km ✅ Only one image today, because it's dramatic; and what I love about running these routes - they reward people who *look around and pay attention*. The photo's of imprint in the snow from a predatory bird trying to catch its next meal, which may have gotten away.

    Windchill of -15°C this morning, so had to wear pants. 😕

    #Running #RunOttawa #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #10km

  29. Monday 12 km ✅ The number of snow people continues to rise along the route. I'm not sure if/when they'll launch an invasion, but with a storm looming for the weekend, we should all prepare. So far, I've been able to outrun them all. Having no legs really seems to cut down on their ability to pursue me. 😛

    #Running #RunOttawa #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #TeamShorts #12km

  30. Saturday 10 km ✅ Snow, snow, snow, and some more snow. Still sore from yesterdays adventure, buts all so pretty!

    #Running #RunOttawa #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #TeamShorts #10km

  31. Friday 22 km ✅
    Blowing, heavy, wet snow? ✅
    Wind gusts to 50km/hr? ✅
    Largely uncleared paths? ✅
    Shoes caked in snow with wet socks? ✅
    Would I do it again? ✅
    It was a fun challenge and my heart didn't explode from the effort!

  32. Wednesday 16 km ✅ The “I don’t wanna” was strong this morning, though after having a stern word with it, I went out anyway. -16°C w/ windchill - delayed by a seven hour Rogers internet outage (originally typed outrage, which is applicable).

    #Running #RunOttawa #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #16km

  33. Tuesday 10 km ✅ A beautiful and quiet run this morning with a -20°C windchill. Clearly a pants day. 🤣

    #Running #RunOttawa #OttRun #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #10km

  34. Saturday 10 km ✅ Breezy and sunny -18°C windchill run. Really enjoyable time today. Maybe some snow tomorrow, I hope!

    #Running #RunOttawa #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #10km

  35. Friday 24 km ✅ Even though I had to put on pants (-12°C windchill), it was a wonderful day for a run, if a bit windy. As usual, lots to see all over our lovely city.

  36. Thursday 11 km ✅ Started with the moon starting to set as the sun started to rise. Nice and quiet run this morning.

    #Running #RunOttawa #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #TeamShorts #10km

  37. Wednesday 18 km ✅ Foggy and misty run. Pretty good route, except for the MacDonald Cartier bridge crossing, which is really noisy, as is the section along Wellington Street to Bank. The path at the base of Parliament hill is closed for construction. :-/

  38. Tuesday 12 km ✅ Dark, grey morning; basically perfect, except I’m tired and sore from yesterday's activities.

    #Running #RunOttawa #OttRun #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #TeamShorts #10km

  39. Sunday 10 km ✅ Lovely morning for a run. And a photo of the reward; waffles with cheese and peanut butter!

    #Running #RunOttawa #OttRun #Ottawa #RunEveryDay #NoFoodNoWater #TeamShorts #10km

  40. Saturday 10 km ✅ Talk about *windy* (gusts to 47km/hr). The five minutes of solid rain were unappreciated,especially at KM eight. 🤣

  41. Friday 23 km ✅ Tough run; didn’t sleep well and was sore, but I set my will in motion. Beautiful morning for an Ottawa run.
