Looks like winter has finally arrived! With a light sprinkling of snow and temperatures starting to drop, it is time to get your winter running gear out.
At this time of the year, many people either take a break from running or spend more time on the treadmill. I find it easier to get outside for a quick run. There is nothing more beautiful then running through various neighbourhoods after a light dusting of snow in the evening when everyone has their Christmas lights on. I find myself so distracted by the decorations that I don’t even notice how many kilometers I’ve run.
If you have time this month, I’d recommend running around two of the major parks we have in Kitchener-Waterloo and checking out the light shows that they currently have going on.
Waterloo
Waterloo Park – Wonders of Winter.
The lights will be on now until December 31 from 5:30pm – 10:30pm.
Kitchener
Victoria Park – Christmas Fantasy.
The lights will be on now until December 31 from 5:30pm – 10:30pm.
Santa Pur-suit contest winners
Congratulations to the Santa Pursuit contest winners – Daniel and Jennifer!
For Daniel the Santa Pur-suit will be his first Run Waterloo race! What motivates him to continue training on a regular basis? “The feeling you get from running a personal best”. Let’s hope his first Run Waterloo race can give him a new pb!
