4km at the cottage with Oliver. Incredible scenery with fresh snow and mild temperatures.

3.5km in a snow storm at the cottage! It was supposed to be 4km, but I got a bit freaked out when the snow turned visibility to zero and I have only run on this road twice. I had myself convinced that I would pick up my head and not have a clue where I was. :lol: I think I have been out in the woods...

Just getting ready to head up to my sister's cottage in Bracebridge for a few days of fun in the snow! Runs will be fit in up there along with some snow shoe activity (I won't use the word run until I have tried them out)!

I ran this morning. It was super hard and I didn't do 6:1s, but I still ran 17 minutes of the 18 I was supposed to run, so i'm satisfied. This brings me to 3 runs in one week!

Nicely done!

Got 4km in with two of my favourite guys while the Stuffed Raspberry French Toast cooked in the oven. Off to my sister's for the day with my family before heading up to her cottage tomorrow.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Club doesn't open 'til 8:00am this morning, so I got nuttin' .. :( :( :( Indeed. Now I'm sitting at my desk in running gear feeling pretty grubby. :? BUT!!!!... on the plus side I got a full tank of gas for free at ESSO this morning. When I went inside to pay the computer went glitchy and he had no...

Kid-free weekends for me in February are the 5th and the 19th and I read that Winerlude runs from the 5-21 so I am free the first weekend and the last weekend.

No boys allowed. If I come to Ottawa for a visit and wine drinking, oh and running, it will be alone! I have always wanted to visit during Winterlude!

I'm in! Just name the time and place and give me about 4 hours to get there! I owe you a bottle of Sangria Sherry!

4km in the glorious sunshine with Oliver. Found some nice dry sidewalks that were salt-free for my baby! :D It's -8° here, but the wind on the way back felt a bit chilly. I hope Santa brings me a warmer pair of winter running tights. :wink: My first day of holidays, but I really don't have anything ...

RBR, your poor, patient dog! LMAO!

Last day of work for me until January 4th! Will run somewhere in between picking up Justin (for the next 5 days) and groceries!

Shortest day of the year! It only gets better from here!! that's the best news I've heard all day!!!! 3 miles in 34 mins, 1.5 with the Dude and he didn't enjoy it very much, too much salt. He's done for the season :( We are running into the same problem in our ghetto with Oliver. :( Why do they hav...

I will continue to run when I can and where I can over the holidays. I am looking forward to having some time off when work won't interfere with my work-outs so much. Planning on heading up North for a few days so if I can't run, I will get outside and do something. Really looking forward to trying ...

Sorry, just seeing this now and I see that you found a solution. I used my immersible blender.

Have you given any thought to when/where? I know there are quite a few Maniacs (myself included) with this goal.

We'll also be upping our efforts to encourage carpooling to all events. The environmental reasons are obvious, but also it's better for the respective venues. The various conservation authorities use the fees our big events pay them to fund their yearlong programs, but it'd suck if they had to star...

MUST run tonight, but it is -10° so I may have to break out every layer I own. My stress level is over the top and I will need a run by the end of today! Happy Thursday Maniacs! No indoor gym at that condo of yours? There are two treadmills in our gym, which are usually full, but I like to take Oli...

Well done, Sheldon! Sounds like you had fun and are still keeping up with the young folks

Now that would be a perfect way to skip the holidays completely!

I have run out of things to say as well. You continue to amaze!

You've earned some candy I think!

Does icebreaker or any other merino base not feel a bit itchy? I am guessing not given the rave reviews but when I felt it in my hands on the rack I was a bit concerned it might bother my skin. I am allergic to wool and, despite prodding, I have avoided the merino wool for this reason. It would be ...

Where is all this snow everyone keeps talking about?

4km run with Oliver tonight and then Core Synergistics on my schedule. I need to at least consider starting some Christmas baking this week, but I am in denial at the moment.

3.5 km with Oliver in the pouring rain!
