Congratulations to Shelly and Todd on the birth of their Son, Blake Alexander. 

Many of you are doing ATB on Sunday so you should take it easy (no more than 5k if you do run).

For the rest, I'm suggesting a short route from the Distillery District, followed by Furbo Cafe for Americanos and pastries. Here's a suggested route

Let's hope spring is now upon us (aka, layer-free running!)

Saturday, March 16 (McNamara brunch to follow)

Hi Everyone, I am experiencing technical difficulties at work so I am unable to link to my mapmyrun.com routes. We will begin at 48 Winners Circle (Queen east/Kingston Rd) and run east along the waterfront trail. Programs call for the following: ATB/Ottawa = 24k ATB/Toronto full = 35k Toronto half = 18k Cheers, Sam

Only 2 weeks until Around the Bay!

I've mapped a 28k route from Tim's to Leaside, over to midtown, and back through downtown. I'll be opting for the 10 mile route with a couple hills to boot.

Route details (direction in parentheses):
Leslie - Gerrard (west) - Carlaw (north) - Danforth (west) - Broadview (north) - O'Connor (east) - Millwood becomes Laird (north) - McRae (south) - Millwood become Belsize (west) - Yonge (south) - Chaplin (west) - Bathurst (south) - Davenport becomes Church (southeast) - Gerrard (east) to Leslie

Enjoy and let me know how you like it.

Apparently we're not done with winter just yet -- it's supposed to be brisk tomorrow morning.

All programs call for 21k this weekend. There's a route posted on last week's blog or click Routes for various distances east.

Also, check out the update on the new Don River Park here.
