Bought Ticket to OTTAWA!
I finally did it!! I've been thinking about getting a plane ticket to Ottawa for the National Capital Race Weekend for some time now... and tonight I *finally* did it! I just went for it and feel so good about it.
This is an opportunity to see my family, especially Barry and Renee who will be down from Toronto for the weekend, my friends too, but especially to take part with my family in the running races of the NCM weekend! I think Dad, Barry and Renee will be running the 10km on Saturday evening. Mom will be fast-walking the half-marathon on Sunday morning. I will be running the 10km AND the half-marathon... I want to do both because a) That way I can do both events with all my family 2) I am scheduled to run 32K that weekend for my marathon training so I figure running 10KM + 21.1KM = 31.1KM which is close enough!

I'll be in town on Monday recovering so hopefully I can see some friends that day too. The only unfortunate piece of the puzzle is that there is a long weekend right before this weekend, and I miss an extra day of Ottawa -boo. BUT, I do believe I will be visiting with Lorne's parents who are driving (DRIVING!!!) to Calgary to see us around that time. Then, I miss my dear friend Natalia's wedding reception which is on June 9th in Ottawa.. so close yet so far. But Barry and Renee won't be around that weekend in Ottawa and I should still at least be able to see Natalia!
I am so excited. Just 5 weeks to Ottawa!!! If you're there, please mark the dates for me!

Hey Lar,
Although nothing is confirmed yet, it looks like I'll be in Ottawa for the second and third weeks of August (so like somewhere around Aug 5 to somewhere around Aug 17). Not sure if you'll make it to Ottawa again but if you do, then we can spend your bday together! Otherwise, you'll just have to come to London. Maybe for your 29th bday?
