Woah. Got ready for a run today and turned around and went back into the comfort of my air conditioned apartment. Check out the stats:
Ottawa ON
Temperature: 30C
Feels Like: 38C
Wind: 19km/h
Wind gusts: 33km/h
Relative Humidity: 55%
I'll jog in the rain, in the cold, even in the wind. Feels like 38C with a Severe Thunderstorm watch later on today. Screw that.
About Me
- Taylor
- During my years raising money for Team Diabetes Canada I’ve pushed myself harder and harder to reach ever loftier goals in both my running and fundraising efforts. In 2006 I raised $6000 and completed the 10km race in Iceland. 2008 saw me bring that total to $12,500 and finish the half marathon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Now in 2009, my final effort, I intend to complete my goal of attaining a personal best of $20,000 raised in support of diabetes research in Canada. It is fitting that upon completion of my fund raising goals I’ll follow the victory trail of the first marathon runner ever from the beaches of Marathon to Athens, Greece. I’m well on the road to achieving these goals but will need your help to see them through. I’ll handle the running part but any donations made in any amount, will go a long way to furthering both my race to Athens and the Race for the Cure.
Fundraising Total
Thanks for Dropping By

Hi Taylor,
I found your blog at Complete Running Network. Your title "Team Diabetes" intrigued me as I am diabetic and training for the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC (that would be one of the other North American capitals). Why did you choose to raise money for diabetes research? Thanks for doing it.
You can see my training blog at www.AdventuresofRussellandGreg.com.
I ran a race last weekend in Mississiqua. Temp was 26. Felt pretty cool to me. I do most of my running at 6 am before it really gets hot. Don't give your runs because of the heat - just stay well hydrated and SLOW down.
Greg
