It's been quite a while since I've posted...still lurk at times, but my training has intensified and turned almost completely to trails the past few years.
I've since moved downtown along the canal...and I mean very recently (week ago Sunday). As I'm not in a focused training cycle now I'm looking for folks to share some weekday miles be it morning/evening. Weekends are still reserved for Gatineau Park with the group of Wildebeest I typically run with.

and I didn't even run that, went down under that week instead, so the shortest was 55k.

Umm, don't think we could even fit in your runs in the morning, let alone a day? Ha !!
What start time and/or distances are you looking at ??

5-10k maximum after that road running make me sad.
Per start times last week I did 3 runs at 6pm, today I went out at 11:30am...so nothing set in stone.

Re: Downtown Ottawa
You could always do 25-50 laps in and around the Arboretum if you want it to feel sort of like a trail, in a "not really but maybe almost close" or "at least part of the run was on dirt" sort of way
BTW, how are the trails in the Gats right now? It seems like all the leaves have dropped in the greenbelt, so I assume the trails are covered up there as well?

Hahaha nope to loops. Gatz are awesome, the leaves are down but only the narly trails need focus. Even then what's a turned ankle when you can avoid roads. Still runnable with caution.

Re: Downtown Ottawa
I moved along the canal in February and I couldn't be happier with the running location! I'm actually between the canal and the river, so I have two great options. Unfortunately, my schedule doesn't line up with yours, but there always seem to be folks out running!

Keep me in mind regardless Scrumhalfgirl, as I have really no set schedule. Work typically gets in the way during normal day time hours, I was working from home yesterday so got out mid-day, but I suspect most will be mornings as its just too dark in the evenings now. I'm on The Driveway...so I couldn't get closer to the canal unless I move into a house boat.

Re: Downtown Ottawa
Coming to Ottawa on the 25th but since I will be Week 5 on the C25K plan by then, I suspect you guys will leave me in the dust!
What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

And, I am reliant on OC Transpo from Kanata, and usually not arriving in downtown to around 6:45am, unfortunately ...
