This isn’t going to be much of a blog post, but I took some photos with my phone while running that I thought I would share on here.
Friday morning – Ran to Mud Lake, then in the trails at Mud Lake, and then back to my sister’s house. Total distance: just under 9.5 miles (just over 15 km)
Mud Lake
Saturday morning – I rode my nephew’s bike to some cross country ski trails in Nepean. The ride was 5.6 miles there, then a 5 mile run, then 6.1 mile ride back (took a couple wrong turns :P)
Ottawa River
Sunday morning – I ran from my sister’s house to the local Running Room where I had asked the day before how far their groups would be going. I was told 19km, so I thought this would be okay with a bit of a run before and after.
The group run was similar to what I was planning to run on my own, except they had a loop planned and I had an out and back. My route would have been Ottawa River to Rideau Canal to Dows lake and back, but what we did was ran over to Dows Lake, then along the canal to the river, and followed the river back to Westboro.
The total distance I covered that morning was 16.5 miles (26.5 km) and I also got a 20ish minute swim in. I love swimming after running. In this case it was a swim between runs… it was a bit difficult to get going again after being in the water, but I managed to get back to my sister’s house. :)
Westboro Beach (where I swam) – It was actually sunnyish when I was in the water, but then clouded over soon after.
I hope you’ve enjoyed these photos.
