Yesterday I did my last big long run before the Ottawa marathon and it actually went really well despite the chilly weather. I ran to the Slater street Running Room for their 8:30 run club and ran 23km with their marathon group along the Ottawa marathon route. The Ottawa marathon vetrans gave me lots of great tips about the course. Afterwards I braved the cold and wind for another 10km along the majestic Ottawa river. 35km – done! Now it is just an easy slide down until the big race!
Also, this week GiveMeaning helped us out and I can now issue tax receipts for Canadian donations!
