Stunning day, beautiful weather. Ottawa is very pretty in the spring. A mix of multi use pathways, trails, and sidewalks. I saw a house martin, and other swallows galore, cormorants, turkey vultures, ducklings, and goslings (who I gave a wide berth to)! Stunning day to be outside. I had planned on a longer run but my period and all its fun kicked off 41km in and after another ten km or so, I had enough. I did love this training plan though! I have a few side quests in mind for the immediate future but I think I will go back to this plan later in the summer. <br/><br/><br/><br/>Also, it&#39;s World Mask Week! My kn95 that I carry for popping into stores or portapotties on my run colour coordinates with my running vest!

The second I start getting ready, she’s on me. The sadness when it’s too cold or too far for her (she’s still in single digit distances) would break your heart. She’s really good at locking into a pace and holding steady. She loves the “zoom, zoom” of intervals.
