Runners Runners Everywhere

This weekend was the Ottawa Race Weekend. Once again, downtown streets were filled with folks wearing spandex and race bibs. Once again, I spent the earlier portion of Saturday evening cheering on thousands of 10km runners - beautiful people of all ages, shapes and sizes giving it their all. I didn't know anyone; I just cheered for the sheer joy of it and the rush of witnessing individuals working towards a noble goal, some more laboriously than others.

Last year watching the 10km runners file along city streets inspired me to sign up for a Learn to Run clinic at the Running Room, which led me to complete my first 5km. Although I'm not planning to sign up again, I did feel an itch to pull out the ol' running shoes & spandex. I'll keep you posted ... :)
